Bio summary

Iverson wrote about the American West, primarily American Indian history in the 20th and 21st centuries, with Navajo history at the core of his research and teaching. He took the then-novel approach in his practice and teaching of history of emphasizing the importance of oral histories and collaborating with the Native communities those histories he was documenting.
