In the Wake of Red Power MovementIAS Seminar room, Zeeman buildingRuns from Friday, May 15 to Saturday, May 16. Keynote speakers:Dr. Mishuana Goeman Associate Professor of Gender Studies, UCLA Dr. Robert Warrior Distinguished Professor of American Literature & Culture, University of Kansas This symposium explores North American Indigenous intellectual and narrative traditions that were recovered, reclaimed, or (re-)invented in the wake of Red Power movements that emerged in the 1960s in the settler colonial societies of Canada and the USA. It asks: which new perspectives and visions have been developed over the last 50 years within Indigenous studies and related fields when looking at Indigenous land and land rights, Indigenous political and social sovereignty, extractivism and environmental destruction, oppressive sex/gender systems, and for describing the repercussions of settler colonialism in North America, especially in narrative representations |
