About Lisa Nagaoka
I have been trained as a zooarchaeologist, but I have broad interests in the study of human-environment interactions. My research focuses on a range of issues from archaeological method and theory, philosophy of science, conservation biology, and biogeography. But it also encompasses topics such as sustainability, transportation, and women in science. As an archaeologist, I have worked mostly in the Pacific Islands (New Zealand, American Samoa, Cook Islands, Hawaii), but I have also participated in projects in the Great Basin and the Southwest U.S., and in western Argentina.
I am a professor in the Department of Geography and the Environment at the University of North Texas, and am affiliated with the Advanced Environmental Research Institute. Until 2024, I am also working as a Special Assistant for Research to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
