Delaney McNulty, Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, is a PhD student in the Indigenous Studies Department at the University at Buffalo. I hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Utah and the University at Buffalo, respectively. I am highly involved in leadership on campus; I mentor undergraduate students through the Indigenous at UB program. I am the president of three on-campus clubs, including the Graduate Feminist Collective, the Minorities and Philosophy Chapter, and the Graduate Indigenous Student Association. I am also a graduate fellow in the Romanell Center for Clinical Ethics and the Philosophy of Medicine. My research sits at the intersection of Indigenous studies, political philosophy, and archaeology. My dissertation topic concerns Indigenous sovereignty and the right to destroy cultural property. This spring, she completed an internship at the Smithsonian in the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of Natural History in their repatriation departments.
