About Mairead K. Doery
Mairead Doery (formerly Poulin) is a PhD student in the Archaeology program. Her research interests center on the ways that communities of the past and present engage with ancestral iconography, particularly in identity-based, memory-driven, and placemaking practices. She prioritizes the inclusion of Indigenous voices, ontologies, and oral histories in her work, which is also fueled by her interest in material culture and museum representation. Her research projects have spanned from the early Archaic to the late colonial periods of the American Southwest and Great Basin, and she has conducted fieldwork in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Ireland.
At the University of Arizona, Mairead is pursing a PhD Minor in American Indian Studies and Museum Studies, as well as a Graduate Certificate in College Teaching Methods. She has previously worked at the Williamstown Historical Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, and Crow Canyon Archaeological Center.
