Description:

This interdisciplinary panel brings together scholars whose work raises questions of memory and memorialization in contexts of colonialism to ask what role institutions such as universities and museums should take in addressing historical trauma and colonialism, especially in a neoliberal context. Panelists include Boyd Cothran, University of York and author of Remembering the Modoc War: Redemptive Violence and the Making of American Innocence (2014), Amy Lonetree, UC-Santa Cruz and author of Decolonizing museums: Representing Native America in national and tribal museums (2012) and Dian Million, University of Washington and author of Therapeutic Nations: Healing in an Age of Indigenous Human Rights (2013).
