Decolonizing Knowledge: Virtual Roundtable and Meet-up

Are you interested in more inclusive scholarship incorporating Indigenous and Native American peoples and perspectives?

So are we! The Native American and Indigenous Studies Ad Hoc Committee at FSU would like to invite you to our KICKOFF EVENT via zoom on April 7th (12-2 PM) during which we will highlight scholarship with/for/regarding Native Communities across the FSU/FAMU campuses.

The Native American and Indigenous Studies Ad Hoc Committee was formed in the spring of 2021 to explicitly address the need for increased presence, prevalence, and resources for Indigenous scholars, scholarship, and allies at research universities, with the eventual aim of establishing a formal Native American and Indigenous Studies program here at Florida State University.

This roundtable and meet-up is the first step on this journey by providing an interdisciplinary networking opportunity for all FSU and FAMU faculty, students, and staff who are conducting/ are interested in scholarship in collaboration with Indigenous peoples or who are Indigenous/ Native scholars to raise awareness and facilitate capacity-building.

After an introduction to the aims of this committee, members and any other interested researchers (graduate students welcome!) will present short (2-3 minute) summaries of their scholarship. After this, the table will be opened to the whole community for questions and discussion.

If you would like to present, please email Jessi Halligan (jhalligan@fsu.edu) by April 4th. Please join us on April 7th from 12-2pm EST. Register in advance for this meeting at: https://fsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEldOugqzwjHNGcBxO8kLOcQhu3b6-PjZO6
