8th Annual CNAIR Research Symposium

Join CNAIR for our 8th Annual Research Symposium at the Woman's Club of Evanston on April 9 and 10!

We will be using this year's guiding framework of Indigenous feminisms to help us understand the historic formation and contemporary structures of our present world, especially as it has been shaped by settler colonialism. As a mode of interpretation and critique, Indigenous feminisms centers Indigenous epistemologies and sovereignty, drawing on the many and varied intellectual and philosophical traditions of Indigenous people across the globe. 

We are excited to announce our two KEYNOTE speakers:

EVE TUCK, Professor of Indigenous Studies and James Weldon Johnson Professor at Steinhardt, Dept of Applied Statistics, Social Sciences & Humanities, and the Gallatin School of Individualized Study,  NYU; founding director, Provostial Center for Indigenous Studies at NYU

DANA HEDGPETH, Reporter, The Washington Post; 2025 Indigenous Journalism Association-Medill Milestone Achievement Award Recipient

Please invite your colleagues, friends, family, and community to register and attend this in person event!
