The Urgency of Indigenous Values (Webinar)听
Wednesday, November 8听
12 PM - 1 PM听

Philip P. Arnold uses a collaborative method derived from the 鈥淭wo-Row Wampum鈥� (1613) and his 40-year relationship with the Haudenosaunee to address the urgent need to support Indigenous Peoples, understand their values, and offer a way toward humanity鈥檚 survival in the face of environmental catastrophe. Arnold outlines Indigenous traditions of habitation and gift economies鈥痠n鈥痗ontrast with settler-colonial values of commodification, where land and all aspects of material life are reduced to monetary use-value. Fifteenth-century Doctrines of Discovery used Christian theology to subjugate and annihilate Indigenous Peoples through environmental devastation, land theft, and forced assimilation. Designed to initiate conversations in the classroom, the academy, and other communities, this book pairs concepts of Indigeneity and religion around their competing values systems, thus transforming our understanding of both categories.听

The webinar will be presented by Philip P. Arnold, an Associate Professor of the Religion Department and core faculty in Native American and Indigenous Studies at Syracuse University, as well as Founding Director of the鈥�.听

Revolutionary Things听
Thursday, November 30
1 pm 鈥� 2 pm听

During the late eighteenth century, a wide range of objects associated with the American, French, and Haitian revolutions crisscrossed the ocean. Furniture and ceramics; clothing and accessories; and maps, prints, and public amusements鈥攁ll circulated among diverse actors who wrestled with the political implications of these items. In this presentation, we will examine the unique ways that transatlantic revolutionary things shaped how people understood contested concepts like equality, freedom, and solidarity. We will also explore how these objects became a means through which individuals鈥攅nslaved and free, women and men, poor and elite鈥攑romoted, and sometimes tried to thwart, the realization of these ideals on the ground.听

Ashli White, Associate Professor of History at the University of Miami, will be the presenter.听
