Indigenous Reclamation and Social Re-creation
Indigenous Reclamation and Social Re-creation
The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Indigenous Futures Lab are proud to welcome Dr. Eva Jewell to campus as the second speaker in the inaugural Indigenous Knowledge Speaker Series. Her talk Indigenous Reclamation and Social Re-creation will take place on April 18, 2024.
For Indigenous peoples, reclaiming our social and political structures necessitates a re-centering of our unique care practices and attending worldviews. This lecture explores an example of Anishinaabe community-based reclamation and decolonial praxis with considerations from the field of feminist care ethics.
The talk will be followed by an open community crafting session on basket-weaving with Dr. Eva Jewell so please be sure to include that in your RSVP. This talk is in-person only and will not be recorded.
