Career

Sturm has written two books on Cherokee identity. Blood Politics (2002) presents results of her ethnographic fieldwork in the Cherokee Nation from 1995 to 1998. Becoming Indian (2011) discusses the concept of race shifting:[5] how a rapidly growing number of people in the United States are self-identifying as Native American – usually, as Cherokee – without any documentation to support their claims. Race shifting is not just confined to the United States, but has also been observed in Canada.[6] [7] Sturm has been interviewed on issues relating to Cherokee identity, such as the Cherokee Freedmen controversy[8] [9] and Elizabeth Warren's claims to Cherokee ancestry.[10]

Before joining UT Austin, Sturm taught at the University of Oklahoma.[11]
