About Me

Dr. Shiloh Green Soto is an urban historian with a primary focus on the 20th-century American West. Her scholarship centers the experiences of racialized workers and critically examines the interplay of race, class, and place in the structuring of suburban environments through manufactured public memory, social movement & legal advocacy, and constructed forms of nature. A first-generation college student, Dr. Green Soto received her PhD in Interdisciplinary Humanities from the University of California Merced, where her research encompassed urban history, critical race and ethnic studies, racial geography, critical archival studies, and critical university studies.

Dr. Green Soto’s research and teaching has been supported by a number of fellowships and awards, including the Luce Foundation, the Mellon-funded Digital Ethnic Studies Consortium, and various humanities research initiatives. She has presented papers at wide-ranging conferences, including the American Studies Association, the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment, and the American History Association, and she has been an invited speaker at Princeton University and California State University, Northridge’s acclaimed Whitsett Seminar. Dr. Green Soto currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Washington State University in Vancouver. She is at work on a book project about post-1968 Fair Housing Act segregation through the shaping of natural environments.
