Kim TallBear, Ph.D., is Dakota, a member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota. She grew up in Flandreau, South Dakota and the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. After a career as an environmental planner for U.S. tribes, federal agencies, and tribal organizations, TallBear is Assistant Professor of Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. She is at work on a book, Native American DNA: Origins, Ethics, and Governance (forthcoming, University of Minnesota Press). She has contributed chapters on genetic conceptions of race and indigeneity and the challenges for Native American sovereignty to volumes including Revisiting Race in a Genomic Age (Koenig, Lee, and Richardson, 2008) and indivisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas (Tayac, 2009). She has also (co)authored research and review articles in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, Science, the International Journal of Cultural Property, and the Wicazo Sá Review. TallBear seeks to understand how U.S. tribes and other indigenous peoples resist, regulate, and initiate scientific research, and how they use science and technology to govern. She teaches courses that bring into conversation indigenous, feminist, and postcolonial approaches to science, technology, and nature. Such approaches call attention to the dangers of Western, masculinist science that sets apart humans from nature and privileges the views of “First World” men. Challenging the nature/culture dichotomy and the idea that science can view “everything from nowhere” can help make research and technology more just and accountable to a wider variety of people and non-humans.
