She specializes in survey research in partnership with Indigenous communities and other marginalized populations, grounding her research in the following disciplinary lenses: Indigenous studies, sociology of race and ethnicity, political sociology, sociology of knowledge, critical demography, health policy research, and science and technology studies. Desi directs the Data Warriors Lab, an Indigenous social science laboratory that connects researchers, students, and Indigenous communities to build data that support strong self-determined Indigenous futures. Her research model is grounded in the principles of Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance and her work is driven by Indigenous communities (reservation, urban, and rural) and their pursuit of robust and meaningful data systems, policies, and practices.
