Laura Barraclough (Yale University), “Stuck in a Rut: Settler Mobility Stories” (American Studies)

Laura Barraclough is Professor and Chair of American Studies. Her research focuses on the historical and contemporary geographies of racism and colonialism in the United States. She is the author of three books about Los Angeles and other cities in the American West. Her current research looks at how Indigenous nations are using the national historic trails, a public history system created by U.S. Congress in 1978, to disrupt settler-colonial narratives of American history and to tell their own stories.
