Research Interests and professional commitments:
Professor Radding’s research interests in Latin American colonial history focus on the intersections between environmental and ethnographic history. Her current work exemplifies methods for comparative history, across North and South America and within the broad borderlands region of northern Mexico and southwestern U.S. Her scholarship is rooted in the imperial borderlands of the Spanish and Portuguese American empires, emphasizing the role of indigenous peoples and other colonized groups in shaping those borderlands, transforming their landscapes, and producing colonial societies. Her current project, “Bountiful Deserts, Imperial Shadows,” explores the ecological transition between wild and cultivated plants, the cultural intersections of sedentary and nomadic peoples, and the production of knowledge in northern Mexico. Radding is co-editor with Chad Bryant (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Paul Readman (Kings College, London) of Borderlands in World History (Palgrave, 2014). She is Past President of the Conference on Latin American History (2011-2013) of the American Historical Association; currently she is book review editor of HAHR and, in the past, has served on the Editorial Boards of HAHR and The Americas and on the Advisory Council of the Inter-American Foundation. Her selected recent publications include: Landscapes of Power and Identity. Comparative Histories in the Sonoran Desert and the Forests of Amazonia from Colony to Republic, Durham: Duke University Press, 2005. (Published in Spanish in Bolivia, 2005, and in Mexico, 2008); “The Children of Mayahuel: Agaves, Human Cultures, and Desert Landscapes in Northern Mexico,” Environmental History 17 (January 2012): 84-115; “Conclusion: Of the ‘Lands in Between’ and the Environments of Modernity,” in Christopher Boyer, ed., A Land Between Waters: Environmental Histories of Modern Mexico, Tucson, AZ: The University of Arizona Press, 2012, p. 277-296.

(DPhil Oxford University 2002) is Curator of North American Ethnology and Director of the Recovering Voices program at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. Her research looks at the intersection between Native American and non-Native knowledge systems and how people mediate these, especially through museums and technology. Central to this is her fieldwork on and ethnography of a tribal museum in the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico, and her exploration of the challenges faced by Zunis operating between Zuni and Anglo-American approaches to knowledge. This research formed the groundwork for her book Mediating Knowledges: The Origins of a Zuni Tribal Museum, University of Arizona Press (2007). Her research into culturally or disciplinarily distinct knowledges also looks at how technology and media are used within the discipline of anthropology for the production and reproduction of knowledge through replicas, face casts, models and 3D printing, as well as the need for ethical frameworks that acknowledge culturally specific responsibilities regarding their use. Recent publications include “Whose Idea Was This? Museums, Replicas and the Reproduction of Knowledge,” Current Anthropology, (2011)52 (4): 585-595; “Perclusive Alliances: Digital 3-D, Museums and the Reconciling of Culturally Diverse Knowledges,” Current Anthropology, (2015) Vol. 56.

Museums, Societies and the Creation of Value. (2021)London: Routledge press. As director of the Recovering Voices program, she facilitates Indigenous communities in their efforts to revitalize endangered languages and knowledge. Recent publications on this work include “Museums and the Revitalization of Endangered Languages and Knowledge,” in Adrianna Link, Abigail Shelton and Patrick Spero, ed. Indigenous Languages and the Promise of Archives, (2021), Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. Pp. 429-460; “Being Present and Bearing Witness: Talking about cultural revitalization programming in museums,” co-authored with Ingrid Ahlgren, Alan Ojiig Corbiere and Judith Andrews (2022) in Museum Management and Curatorship. Pp 1-26. https://doi.org/10.1080/09647775.2021.2023907. Her current research also involves the To Be—Named project, which convenes international scholars around the study of the diverse knowledge systems that shape the politics of language, names, and naming. She has been a board member for the Council for Museum Anthropology, and currently serves on the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) steering committee, which is sponsored by the Open Society University Network.
