Professor Shoemaker’s article, Transforming Property: Reclaiming Modern Indigenous Land Tenures, was recently accepted by the California Law Review, and she has contributed to an edited collection on private-sector economic development in reservation spaces that is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. In August 2018, Professor Shoemaker also began her visit as the Fulbright Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Legal and Resource Rights at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law. Her research during this exchange is focused on Indigenous land tenure systems through a comparative lens, with a focus on what can be learned from recent Canadian reconciliation and land reform efforts. Professor Shoemaker also recently presented at the Annual Meeting of the Rural Sociology Society in Portland, Oregon, and at a Fulbright conference held in Ottawa, Ontario.
