FIRST I&E Event for Fall 2013!

 

Duarte photoWe are pleased to announce that, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Nicole Cooke, the first Inclusions & Exclusions Reading Group event has been scheduled!

Dr. Marisa Duarte, the Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, will join the Inclusions and Exclusions Reading Group on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, at 12pm, in room 109. Dr. Duarte will lead a discussion about Native systems of knowledge and what that means in terms of our common concepts of intellectual freedom (i.e., colonial dimensions of intellectual freedom).

Please join us for an informative session!  This is a brown bag session, so feel free to bring your lunch. If you are a GSLIS student, staff, or faculty member, you may access readings in support of the discussion here. If you are a guest to our site, the bibliography for the readings will follow this text.

You can access the meeting virtually via http://go.illinois.edu/gslis_meeting.

If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact RaShauna Brannon (rbranno2 [at] illinois [dot] edu). Hope to see you there!
