Angelika Joseph, Mellon Fellow in Democracy and Landscapes at Harvard University's Dumbarton Oaks research institute in Washington D.C., and a dual-degree Ph.D. Candidate in the History and Theory of Architecture and Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities at Princeton University. 

Angelika Joseph’s dissertation, tentatively titled “Red Power Takeover: Native American Activists, Colonial Landscapes, and the Design of Sovereignty,” examines the Red Power Movement (1969-73) as an architectural project for Indigenous sovereignty. Uniting spatial and cultural modes of analysis, this project explores the strategies by which Red Power Movement activists designed social, cultural, and political transformations, weaponizing landscapes shaped by their oppressors against the state and creating new worlds within old architectural forms.
