Trond E. Jacobsen

Background:
BA in Sociology, University Of Oregon, 2002
Advisor(s):
Research Tags:
- Archives and collective memory
- Indigenous archives
- Records and evidence
Bio/Research Statement:
My research interests have their origins in my academic experiences as a sociologist and college policy debate coach and in my good fortune in growing up in the American West. Record-making, record-keeping, and archiving are neither passive activities nor politically neutral but rather dynamic social processes pivoting on profound questions of policy, power, and justice.
Current Research:
My dissertation research examines how American Indian and federal parties mobilize records as evidence in the Federal Acknowledgment Process. Other work with a colleague maps the evolution of the concept of 'collective memory' in the English-language archival literature using a combination of citation network, content, and textual analysis.
