2019 Ethnic Studies Study Abroad: Peru Info Session Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 09/17/2018 - 09:10

The break up of the Soviet Union, the precarious status of nation-states in parts of Africa and Asia, the rise of multiculturalism in the United States, the acceleration of economic globalization and other related events of the 1980s and 1990s have prompted scholars to explore, in ways they had not before, both the power and fragility of nations and national identities. A fascinating interdisciplinary literature has emerged on how nations form, how nationalisms acquire and lost power, how national identity shapes (and is shaped by) identities grounded in region, race, ethnicity, and gender. This course will examine this literature, with a particular emphasis on sport. This course will examine how the media, race, gender, sexuality, and economics made the world of sport we see today. This course explores the athlete in a global context. The course will not be an exercise in sport history. This course will use sport, and the many documents surrounding the games, to gain a better understanding of how athletes became a symbol of nationhood, and how they are influenced by, and themselves influence, other aspects of society, including social, political, and economic aspects of their society. All of this will be examined in Lima, Peru. Lima will host the 2019 Pan American Games, and the opening ceremony as well as several sporting venues will be our classroom.

Knowing the Land: Indigenous Strategies for Revitalization and Adaptation

Clint Carroll, Assistant Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of Colorado-Boulder

Location: Sustainability, Energy and Environment Complex (SEEC), N124 4001 Discovery Drive, Boulder CO, CU-Boulder

Date and time: Wednesday, September 5th, 2018 at 3:30 pm

This talk will address challenges that Indigenous Nations face regarding the interrelated processes of cultural knowledge revitalization and environmental adaptation. For example, how can methods for transmitting traditional knowledge and the management of local resources adapt to radically different social and environmental circumstances? How can tribal elders effectively communicate their knowledge and perspectives on pressing issues like the preservation of medicinal plants to tribal officials, youth, and the general tribal population? Based on my past and current work with Cherokee people in Oklahoma, I will explore possible strategies for overcoming such challenges, as well as current and future research endeavors that further seek to address political-ecological issues in the Cherokee Nation.

3:15 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Reception with light refreshments, N124
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., Lecture and Q&A, N124
