SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mishuana Goeman\, University at Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:Mishuana Goeman\, Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association\, will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTreaty Art: The Visual Geographies of Expressive Citizenship\n\n\n\nThis talk explores the iconography of treaties in contemporary art practices in the context of one hundred years of the Indian Citizenship Act. The Act itself centers on the human and the closing of the co-constitutive power of the US and Canadian territorial sovereignty. The act attempts to domesticates Indians—and our lands– as citizens under the shroud of American Legal territorial sovereignty\, moving Indigenous lands to the purview of the secretary of the Interior in the US and under the patriarchy of the Indian Act in Canada. In contrast to this moment\, artists have long depicted an alternative vision of the relationship between belonging and land that exceeds settler borders and their colonial premises. I will examine examples of the reconfiguration of forms of territorial sovereignty through art practices that rethink land and relationships not only between landed points but also in relation to other humans and more-than-humans. How do contemporary art practices create not only a sense of belonging but also a sense of reciprocity and responsibility? How is a “sea to shining sea” affective regime of belonging disrupted by the visual impact of Indigenous artists who address colonization and forms of settler structures of belonging that are often gendered practices? What might we gain from examining public art and other built environments where the subtlety of assertion of treaty rights\, existing before the 1924 act\, is not so apparent to a North American public but is the iconography that creates a sense of belonging from those in reciprocal relationships with Indigenous Nations? How does expressive citizenship creatively refuse a hundred years of settler citizenship and disrupt colonial geographies based on patriarchal property logics? \n\n\n\nDr. Mishuana Goeman\, daughter through the patrilineal line of enrolled Tonawanda Band of Seneca\, Hawk Clan\, is a Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association. Her monographs include Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations (2013) and Settler Aesthetics: The Spectacle of Originary Moments in the New World (2023). She is also part of the feminist editorial collective for Keywords in Gender and Sexuality Studies (2021)\, which won the Choice Award in 2021\, and now is part of a Podcast series of the same name. Digital Projects where she is a co-pi include Carrying Our Ancestors Home (COAH\, 2019)\, Mukurtu California Native Hub (2020)\, and the Haudenosaunee Archival Research and Knowledge (Hark\, 2023)\, Mapping Indigenous L.A (2015-2024).

SUMMARY:Spirituality and the Ethics of Conservation: The Collapse of Marine Fisheries in West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Presented byEmmanuel Akyeampong\, PhDEllen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies\, Harvard UniversityMinister for Worship and Formation\, Harvard University Memorial Church \n\n\n\nIn the 1960s\, economist and anthropologist Polly Hill dubbed Ghanaians “Pan-African fisherman.” Ghanaian fishermen could be found all along the West African coast from the Gambia to the Niger Delta. Today\, Ghana accounts for about 70 to 80 percent of all pelagic fish catches (sardines\, anchovies\, herring\, mackerel) in the Gulf of Guinea. Yet in the past two to three decades\, annual catches of small pelagic fish there have declined precipitously\, plummeting from 270\,000 metric tons in 1990s to 16\,000 metric tons in 2016. The factors accounting for the decline are complex: overfishing\, ocean warming\, the menace of foreign industrial trawlers\, and illegal\, unreported\, and unregulated (IUU) fishing practices. The collapse of marine fisheries has generated a debate about customary practices rooted in indigenous religion that treated the sea as sacred space and regulated fishing practices. Has social change and religious pluralism undermined the ethics of conservation? How can the ethics of conservation be rehabilitated as part of the multi-pronged effort to revive marine fisheries along the West African coast? \n\n\n\nAdmission to the talk is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45am for refreshments. \n\n\n\nSponsored as part of the Leir Lecture Series by the School of Climate\, Environment\, and Society; the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities; the Marsh Institute; the Center for Gender\, Race\, and Area Studies; and the Departments of English: of History; of Language\, Literature\, and Culture; and of Sustainability and Social Justice at Clark University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the SpeakerEmmanuel Akyeampong is the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University\, and the Minister for Worship and Formation at Harvard University Memorial Church. He served as the Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard Center for African Studies from July 2016 to June 2023.
