2022 GISN Workshop
The Indigenous Studies network and the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies hosted a two-day workshop on Indigenous Identities on Nov. 4-5, 2022. This event brought together students, scholars, and representatives of Indigenous communities throughout Indiana University and beyond to address questions of Indigenous identities from various disciplinary and regional perspectives. Recognizing the unique contexts of all cultures and Indigenous identities, we examined local practices and needs within a globalizing world and discussed the role and possibilities of Indigenous Studies for the future. The workshop was sponsored by the East Asean Studies Center, Center for the Study of the Middle East, Center for the Study of Global Change, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and it was part of the IU Themester on “Identity and Identification”.
