Forgotten Pasts and Alternative Futures: Indigenous Nations and Higher Education

The second in a series of virtual panel discussions cosponsored by the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom, Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education, and Critical Legal Collective, this conversation will be moderated by Jeremiah Chin, professor of law at University of Washington, and will explore how Indigenous nations can provide a source of countersovereignty for functions of educational governance historically overseen by the federal government. Panelists include Megan Bang, professor of learning sciences at Northwestern’s School of Education and Social Policy; Sandy Grande, professor of political science and Native American and Indigenous studies at University of Connecticut; Amanda Tachine, professor of educational studies at University of Oregon; and Bryan Brayboy, professor of earth systems science for anthropocene at Arizona State University.
