Sebastian Braun, before coming to UND in 2004, Dr. Braun earned a Lic. phil. I in Ethnology, History, and Philosophy from Universitaet Basel, Switzerland, an MA in Anthropology and Folklore from Indiana University, and a PhD in Anthropology from Indiana. His interests are concerned with perspectives and constructions of the environment, broadly defined: the cultural meanings and relationships that people assign to their social, natural, and spiritual environments. This leads to work on narrative, ritual, and symbolic representation, on language and socio-linguistics, and on the intersection between economies, ecologies, politics, and power - in other words, the question of how to achieve sustainable sovereignty and sovereign sustainability. Among other publications, he has been writing the chapters on the United States for the yearbook of the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) since 2004. His research on buffalo ranching, sustainability, community health, and economic development (Buffalo Inc. American Indians and Economic Development) was published in 2008 by the University of Oklahoma Press (paperback edition 2013). His current book project (Transforming Ethnohistories; to be published in 2013, University of Oklahoma Press) is an edited volume focusing on how cultural traditions can be included into academic histories, and how such an inclusion would change historical narratives.
