Amrah Salomón’s research and teaching interests focus on transnational and hemispheric Indigenous Studies, the U.S.-Mexico border and Latin America, Women of Color, Indigenous Feminisms, Queer Theory, Critical Geography, Environmental Humanities, Archives, Memory, Film and Media, Social Movements and Activism. She is an activist, educator, and writer of mixed ancestry (O’odham, Mexican, and European). Dr. Salomón directs the Regeneración Lab and is a member of the Center for Interdisciplinary Environmental Justice. 

My work focuses on intersections of religion, settlement policy, technology, and popular culture in the long nineteenth century (c. 1780-1920). I use case studies from the contested U.S. frontier, and from various new religious movements, to explore how people in those contexts debated and defined each key term in “American religious history”: American, religious, and history.
