Kim Christen is
an Assistant Professor of Comparative Ethnic Studies whose scholarly and teaching interest center on transnational indigenous studies.This includes global issues such as sovereignty, land rights, cultural tourism, intellectual property rights and digital "remix" as they mutate and mingle with indigenous communities. Most recently she has been following the "free culture" movement as it has spread across college campuses and the lingering effects of its single-minded focus on what counts as culture (digital music mainly) and who "owns" that culture (i.e.-nobody, that is it should be "free").
