• Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 5:00pm to 6:30pm White Hall, 106
  This lecture titled, “‘Make the sound the Creator is waiting for us to make’: Native American Anti-Nuclear Activism”, considers Native American anti-nuclear activism in light of scholarly conversations about spiritual sovereignty and jurisdiction. It focuses especially on Native activists’ understanding of their work in relation to earlier visionary movements, such as the 1890 Ghost Dance.
