This is a reminder about the April 25th reception and lecture with Professor Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy (Lumbee), professor of Indigenous Education and Justice in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. This event is sponsored by the Graduate School in partnership with OMA&D and other campus units. We invite and encourage all Social Work-affiliated students, staff, and faculty to attend. Note, Professor Brayboy will briefly attend the pre-event reception – please plan to greet him there!
Event details are as follows:
About the lecture
In his talk, “A Hairstory of Violence: How lawful terror connects Indigenous peoples, land, and race” Professor Brayboy will make historical connections between land, race, indigeneity, and fear in the making of the United States. Drawing examples from the last four centuries, he will explore how hair has served as one focal point for attacking, intimidating, and policing indigenous peoples; attempting to sever cultural and historical ties by cutting the hair of Indigenous peoples through scalping practices, at boarding schools, and continuing today in neutrally-worded school dress code policies that target Indigenous students. Removing Indigenous peoples from their land — either by relocation or genocide — operates under a larger framework of “Terrortory,” underscoring how fear and violence are used to regulate belonging.
