Beyond the Land Acknowledgement: Higher Education, the Occupation of Native Nations, and 'Land Back'
Listen to an audio podcast of this program.
The Office of Equity and Human Rights hosted educator Megan Red Shirt-Shaw on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023.
Red Shirt-Shaw discusses how land acknowledgements have become a powerful introduction to convocations, graduations, meetings, and conferences in higher education, but that institutions must challenge themselves to move away from encouraging acts that are just performative into commitments of transformative change.
Red Shirt-Shaw is an educator, writer, and researcher in higher education. Passionate about Indigenous rights issues, college admissions, and a greater Native presence in media and higher education, Red Shirt-Shaw believes in empowering young people to use their voices for the issues they care about in their communities. Her writings have also been featured on Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, Racialicious, Model View Culture, and Last Real Indians.
This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and is part of the Office's monthly Lens Webinar Series.
