Danielle D. Lucero is a reproductive justice scholar who focuses on Indigenous feminisms, tribal sovereignty, and Pueblo Indian histories. She is an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Isleta located in central New Mexico as well as Hispano with connections to the northeastern New Mexican town of Santa Rosa. She earned her PhD in Justice and Social Inquiry from Arizona State University. She holds an Ed.M from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education in Learning and Teaching and a BA in Anthropology and Ethnic Studies from Columbia University. Danielle's current research explores the relationship between tribal sovereignty and reproductive sovereignty. Her work investigates the relationships between tribal enrollment, Pueblo women's experiences with reproductive and social labor, tribal governance/enrollment, and exploring the connections between identity, belonging, place, and gender. She specifically explores the historical and contemporary experiences of Pueblo women in the U.S. Southwest. Her research is prompted by statements like, "you don't have to marry her, just have a baby with her." She uses critical Indigenous research methodologies (CIRM), ethnography, and visual ethnography.
