Department of Ethnic Studies graduate student Shawn Trenell O'Neal has been invited to give a distinguished speaker lecture for Drexel University in Philadelphia regarding his developing theory on audio intersectionality: disrupting hegemonic structures against marginalized communities. The interactive presentation is on Thursday, July 9, 3:00 – 4:30pm MST via live webcast. Click here to watch the teaser. RSVP to hold your reservation, and a Zoom Link invite will be distributed the day of the presentation to prevent Zoom Bombing.

Shawn has curated a Spotify playlist ahead of tomorrow’s event, for those who are interested in listening.

This interactive presentation conjoins intersectional contexts of race, gender, sexuality and class with sound, music and performance studies to determine, demarcate and evaluate the methods in which sound and music have been used operationally as a method of subjugation and normalization or as strategies of resistance and platforms of activism (survival) aimed at African American and Queer African American communities in the United States. However, this can be applied to diasporic communities of Africana, Asian, Latinx, Chicanx, Middle Eastern and Indigenous descent globally.

Shawn Trenell O'Neal is a fourth-year PhD candidate in critical/comparative ethnic studies specializing in Black/Africana studies, Critical race theory, women of color feminism, Black queer theory and musicology. Shawn instructs courses that include Intro to Hip Hop Studies, Critical Sports Studies, African American History, and Media and Globalization.

From our website: “the Digital International Creative Arts Therapies Symposium (DICATS) is a unique 24-hour multi-site, web-based peer-reviewed symposium. DICATS aims to bring together practitioners in the fields of arts and arts therapies around the world to learn about usages of digital devices, new media, and immersive tools for therapeutic and educational interventions. DICATS will expand existing arts therapies’ education and therapy practices, showcase innovative work, and promote interdisciplinary collaborations and conversations across the globe.”

We have shared in a following table the local times that each Symposium Hive will start and end and provide a visual overview of the timeline of how it is moving around the world. You can choose to participate in what you can or have interest for, or you can stay with us throughout the whole symposium!

2019 Ethnic Studies Study Abroad: Peru Info Session

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
