Faculty Research Affiliates

The Electa Quinney Institute works with university faculty to meet shared goals related to American Indian Education. We support our Faculty Affiliates by assisting with research design; reaching out to partners in the American Indian community; identifying, applying for and managing grants; and providing space to meet and work as needed. These professors work with the Electa Quinney Institute while maintaining ties to their home departments within the university.
