On April 30th and May 1st, this year’s Indigenous Philosophy RIG will host a symposium titled “Colonial and Decolonial Connections” which will focus on the boundary between indigenous communities and settler society. This boundary is a contested site of social and political conflict, cultural revitalization, identity formation, and resistance. The conversations will explore gendered and national identity in Hawai’i, contestations of settler “domesticity” in Native American writing, and climate justice at the intersection of indigenous communities and settler society.

Each year the Oregon Humanities Center hosts between two and five Research Interest Groups or RIGs. These interdisciplinary groups of UO faculty and graduate students gather on a regular basis to discuss readings and share their research findings in areas of common interest.
