Indigenizing Museums and the Move Toward
Decolonization: Successes and Ongoing Challenges (Amy Lonetree Lecture)
Thurs | Dec 11 | 3:00PM-4:30PM
Cross-Cultural Center Comunidad Room
Followed by a Reception
The relationship between Indigenous communities and mainstream museums has changed significantly in recent decades as a result of Indigenous activism and new museum theory and practice. These changes include the sharing of curatorial authority, collaborative partnerships, and efforts to decolonize museums. My research examines the current state of contemporary exhibition practices at both national and tribal museums. Central to my analysis is exploring how museums can serve as sites of decolonization through honoring Indigenous knowledge and worldview, and discussing the hard truths of colonization in exhibitions in an effort to promote healing and understanding.

| Trans Realness: The Social and Cultural Politics of Passing
Thurs | Dec 4 | 5:00PM-6:00PM
LGBT Resource Center Conference Room
This program will bring into conversation the ways by which trans folks negotiate their existence in a societal system bound within a gender binary. By centering trans voices in this conversation, the hope is to challenge the preconceived notions surrounding trans bodies and ultimately allow trans folks the opportunity to redefine their truth.
"... I grew confident in my choice to be true to myself, despite what anyone thought, despite the fear of what was to come. I knew that if Ichose to make myself happy, to live in the pursuit of me and my dreams, that I would be free." - Janet Mock, "Redefining Realness" (73)
*This program is a closed space to folks who identify within the trans spectrum *

This experience "in the field" is supplemented by a weekly lecture at UCSD which provides students with background in ethnographic research methodology and exposes them to topics such as intergeneratrional learning and development, the role of storytelling in the development of shared perspectives and identity formation across socio-cultural contexts, as well as systems of power and equality. The course culminates with students' production of digital media and/or special projects which can encompass a wide range of interess and topics. Prerequisites: COMM 100A or HDP 1.
