He received his BA from Knox and later a PhD from the University of Minnesota for research which investigated the dual trajectories of Myaamia (Miami) and settler memory making practices in contemporary Indiana. As a settler scholar, he is committed to collaborative research and is excited to teach students about historical ethics and methods. When not in the archive or classroom, Josh enjoys playing D&D and reading genre fiction.
