Biography
Annie Gilbert Coleman’s research focuses on the cultural and environmental history of outdoor sports and recreation, and she teaches courses on Wilderness, Sports, and national parks as well as 20th c history. Early publications include “The Unbearable Whiteness of Skiing” (Pacific Historical Review, 1994) and the book Ski Style: Sport and Culture in the Rockies (Kansas, 2004). More recent articles include “River Rats in the Archive: Nature, Texts, and a Moving History of the Colorado River” and “Shredding Mountain Lines: GoPro, Mobility, and the Spatial Politics of Outdoor Sports.” Her second book examines how professional guides and their labor have created American wilderness as a site of scenic adventure and sport and will be published by Oxford University Press.
