Bio:
Kristen Carpenter devotes her teaching and scholarship to Property and American Indian Law. Her research examines the real property interests of Indian nations, as well as issues of culture, religion, language, and interpretation. Before entering academia, Professor Carpenter clerked for the Honorable John C. Porfilio on the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and then practiced at Hill & Barlow, P.C., in Boston. She has also worked at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s Office of Legal Counsel and private Indian law firms in Colorado and Alaska. Professor Carpenter’s previous academic appointments were at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law (2004-2009) and Suffolk University Law School (2002-2004). She recently served a four-year term on the Board of the Colorado Indian Bar Association and will chair the Federal Bar Association’s Annual Indian Law Conference in 2010. Professor Carpenter is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School.
