Jonathan Radocay is a citizen of Cherokee Nation and an Assistant Professor specializing in American Indian and Indigenous Literary Studies. His work lies at the intersection of Native American and Indigenous Studies, Native literary studies, and new modernist studies.

Radocay is a 2026-2027 Society of Scholars fellow for his project Stories in Severalty: Allotment and Indigenous Modernisms. This first book project investigates how Indigenous authors have engaged with colonial privatization, especially the late nineteenth-, early twentieth-century United States policy known as allotment. Through its readings of a diverse range of texts, stories, and materials, the book demonstrates how these authors critique and “indigenize” allotment’s racial and gendered forms, aesthetics, and landscapes to meet the unique needs of Indigenous struggle and nation building in the midst and wake of land privatization.
