Anna Burns (She/Her/Hers)

Ph.D. Student, Anthropology and Education

Research Discipline/Bio

Anna is a second year doctoral student in Anthropology and Education. She is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and she works within her community to understand the effects that settler colonialism have had on sovereignty and self-identity for Choctaw tribal members. Previously, at the University of Oxford, Anna studied Bilingual and Intercultural Education (EIB) in Ecuador. Her undergraduate work at Dartmouth College similarly focused on Peruvian EIB and its implementation in Urban and Peri-Urban schools in Cusco. Largely, Anna is interested in understanding the ways in which how we learn, what we learn, and the context of that learning have direct implications on Indigenous identity, tribal sovereignty, and Indigenous self-determination.
