Hello UW Community,
We are excited to announce that Dr. Kim Tallbear will be visiting UW from April 22-26, 2019 as part of the Jessie and John Danz Lecture Series. Dr. Tallbear, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience, and Environment, is an enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota and a renowned international scholar of Indigenous peoples’ engagements with science and technology. Her work intersects with a broad array of research on DNA, self-governance, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and ethics.
The Danz Lecture Series is hosting Dr. Tallbear’s talk Wednesday, April 24th in Kane Hall 120 at 7:30 pm. Her lecture, Why is Sex a “Thing”? Making Good Relations for a Decolonial World, draws on critical Indigenous ideas regarding science and sexuality. Registration for this event is now open. Please save the date and share reading links with students, colleagues, and other communities outside of UW:
