The  American Indian Studies Program will be hosting the fall symposium “Digital Indigeneities: (Re)mediations, Old and New” on September 13-14, as part of their 2013 INTERSECT grant project.  Excerpted from the event summary:

“Fostering digital studies within global Indigenous studies helps prepare the next generation of students for this century’s research and pedagogical opportunities and challenges, and our symposium brings together Indigenous scholars, designers, and filmmakers from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada, and the United States to think through the implications of interdisciplinary approaches to media studies sited through gender, race, and settler colonialism.”

The majority of the symposium events will be held at the Asian American Cultural Center and more information is available at http://www.ais.illinois.edu/news/features/digital/index.html.
