Alyssa Hunziker is a specialist in Native American and Indigenous literature and U.S. empire studies. Her book project, Histories in Common: Indigenous Literatures and the Extra Archives of U.S. Empire<\/em>, studies moments of historical convergence between global Indigenous communities in literature\u2014from Native North America to the Philippines, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and Viet Nam\u2014connecting the U.S.\u2019s occupation of the continent to its Pacific empire. \u00a0Histories in Common<\/em> argues that U.S. empire inadvertently created possibilities for alliance and exchange across differently colonized Indigenous nations, and that contemporary Native American and Indigenous authors unravel such connections to other Indigenous communities in the wake of empire.<\/p>\n

Hunziker teaches courses in Native American literature, Indigenous studies, multi-ethnic American literature, and settler colonial studies. She serves on the editorial board of Studies in American Indian Literatures<\/em> and is the former book review editor of American Indian Quarterly<\/em>. With Mitch R. Murray she is the co-editor of a double special issue of College Literature, <\/em>\u201cGenres of Empire\u201d (2023). Her research appears in American Periodicals<\/em>, American Quarterly<\/em>, Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the United States<\/em>, and Settler Colonial Studies.<\/em><\/p>\n
