Congratulations to Bianca Angulo for winning the iPad Air we gave away at World AIDS Day 2014!! Bianca is a fifth year Sixth College Environmental Systems (Earth Science) major. She says, "Nicole really encouraged my participation because she knew I would enjoy it. She knew I would take a lot from the experience. From attending these events I realized how much more I want to be involved in things like this and not be afraid to talk about HIV/AIDS. Educating Others on the topic is as important as educating yourself." Congratulations again Bianca!

Indigenizing Museums and the Move Toward Decolonization:
Successes and Ongoing Challenges (Amy Lonetree Lecture)
Thurs | Dec 11 | 3-4:30p | CCC 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.
