Winter Quarter CNAIR Keynote Conversation

Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM CT

Join us for our second keynote conversation where we will welcome Caitlin Keliiaa to discuss her research and her book, Refusing Settler Domesticity: Native Women's Labor and Resistance in the Bay Area Outing Program, which examines gendered Indigenous labor in the context of settler colonialism.

Keliiaa is a feminist historian versant in the fields of Native American Studies, Labor Studies, Gender Studies, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. She is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and her research explores the intersections of race, gender, and labor and their historical consequences. Broadly, she researches 20th-century Native experiences in the West, and her scholarship excavates histories of “outing” programs, Indian labor exploitation, dispossession and surveillance of Native bodies.
