Biography:

Jane is a historian of the United States and Indigenous America. Her first book project centers on Indian removal - a wave of federally-sponsored efforts to forcibly relocate Eastern Indigenous nations to lands west of the Mississippi River, which peaked following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 鈥� and the thousands of individuals, families, and communities that successfully avoided it. In exploring the history non-removal and Indigenous persistence in the American South, Jane鈥檚 research engages with histories of the environment and the Anthropocene, especially in exploring the ways that Indigenous communities have used the South鈥檚 diverse environments and landscapes in their struggle to escape forced migration and persist within the region.
