Miriam Jorgensen

Miriam Jorgensen is Research Director of both the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy at The University of Arizona and the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development. Her areas of specialty are governance and economic development in Indian Country, although her work has addressed issues as wide-ranging as welfare policy, policing and justice system development, enterprise management, asset building, and philanthropy to Native America.

Dr. Jorgensen holds degrees from Swarthmore College, Oxford University, and Harvard University; has been a visiting scholar at the Washington University Schools of Law and Social Work; has served as an instructor in economics at Harvard University and Washington University; teaches in the Native Nations Institute’s executive education program for tribal leaders; and is a former member of the Swarthmore College Board of Managers. She also co-authored the books The State of the Native Nations: Conditions under U.S. Policies of Self-Determination and Rebuilding Native Nations: Strategies for Governance and Development, both released in 2007.
