She received a B.A. in American studies in 1972 at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a Ph.D. in American studies in 1980 at Yale University. CareerShe was an assistant professor of history at Harvard University from 1980 to 1984. Previously she taught at Yale as a graduate teaching assistant, where she helped teach the highly regarded 'daily themes' class. Since then Limerick has been at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she is professor of history and chair of the Board of the Center of the American West. Limerick was president of the Organization of American Historians (2014)[4] and is a former president of the American Studies Association (1996–1997) and the Western History Association (2000). She is known for her 1987 book The Legacy of Conquest, which is part of a body of historical writing sometimes known as the New Western History. In 1995, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.[5] Her essay on the Modoc War, titled "Haunted America" appears in the collection Ways of Reading, a textbook widely used by undergraduate English students. She also co-edited a collection of essays, titled Trails: Toward a New Western History which relate to her 1989 "Trails Through Time" exhibit. In January 2016 she was named to the post of Colorado State Historian. Her acceptance of the position comes about through a new partnership between CU-Boulder and History Colorado, an agency that manages Colorado's major museums and archives. Limerick will serve in this new role while maintaining her responsibilities as a professor and researcher. The new role will include developing exhibitions and public events.[3] WorksAcademic
