Biography
Noah’s dissertation research is on the meaning of land in American political thought, or the contested concepts, logics, and imaginaries deployed by American thinkers (broadly construed) to interpret the significance of land. His chapters focus on Mà-ka-tai-me-she-kià-kiàk (Black Hawk), Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Zitkala-Ša (Gertrude Bonnin), putting each thinker in conversation with a significant piece of land policy from their era.
