    Hosted by Nanutsaakas and Emily Jean Leischner, discussing art-making, museums, and museum collecting in Nuxalkulmc with the goal of considering questions such as: How did our ancestors’ relations with museums, with collectors, with outsiders, make good the path for future generations? And what do museums mean for us today? In Season 2, we’re going to talk about repatriation — bringing our treasures home. How do we do repatriation in a Nuxalk way?

  • Standpoint Theory: Formation, Contestation, Legacies

    An influential thread in activist scholarship since the 1970s, standpoint theorists have articulated the rationale starting research “from the margins” and catalyzed transformative criticism within mainstream research. It is as relevant, and as complex, today as ever; this is an especially crucial juncture for a look back and a look forward. We are interviewing scholars who have played a pivotal role in the development of standpoint theory.
