Description:

 We are very excited to remind you of our Winter Quarter invited guest speaker, xwélmexw professor DYLAN ROBINSON, coming to campus on Thursday, March 6, 2025!

Professor Dylan Robinson, xwélmexw (Stólo/Skwah) artist, curator and writer, is the author of one of our NAIS book club selections from last year: Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies, which examines Indigenous and settler colonial practices of listening, and was awarded best first book for the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, Canadian Association for Theatre Research, and the Labriola Centre American Indian National Book Award. Prof Robinson is associate professor and acting associate dean of equity at the University of British Columbia.

On Thursday, March 6, he will be presenting a talk entitled: “Hearing the Calls of Settler Colonialism & Indigenous Resurgence” from 4pm-5:15pm in Bienen’s Regenstein Master Classroom, followed by a reception at 5:15pm-6pm.

Additionally, CNAIR will be welcoming him to campus with a lunch with CNAIR/NAIS students, faculty and staff from 12-1:30pm at the CNAIR house.
