This Massachusetts Historical Society panel on Tuesday, October 9 from 5:15 – 7:30 will explore the intersections of environmental history and indigenous studies—the questions that each field engenders in the other, as well as the perspectives that native and non-native scholars bring to their research as they traverse both fields. Questions of race, gender, geography, and sources enliven this growing body of scholarship. Join us for a stimulating and wide-ranging conversation on these and other topics. The panel participants are Lisa Brooks, Amherst College; Strother Roberts, Bowdoin College; Ashley Smith, Hampshire College; Thomas Wickman, Trinity College. Moderator: Cedric Woods, Institute for New England Native American Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston. The panel takes place at 1154 Boylston Street in Boston.
Seminars are free and open to the public; RSVP required.To RSVP: email seminars@masshist.org or call (617) 646-0579.
