CFP: Seventh Annual Indigenous and American Studies Storyteller’s Conference

December 12, 2010December 11, 2010Matthew L.M. Fletcher

CALL FOR PAPERS

7^th Annual Indigenous and American Studies Storyteller’s Conference

25^th & 26^th March, 2011

University at Buffalo

Buffalo, New York

As an Indigenous intellectual John Mohawk was deeply rooted in Haudenosaunee traditions and culture. Over the years he published extensively on Native wisdom, traditional philosophy and legal systems, economic and sovereign rights, human relations with the natural world, and Indigenous rights, all the while reminding us of the important of the traditional foods and the Three Sisters (corn, beans, squash) to sustain the people.

Keeping the legacy of John Mohawk and his work in mind, the 7^th Annual Indigenous and American Studies Storyteller’s Conference will focus on the theme of Indigenous knowledge and research, and the wider American and international context. We invite researchers, teachers and community members from the fields of Indigenous and American Studies to contribute work on all aspects of Indigenous and American knowledge, language and culture.

CFP: 5th Annual UCLA Critical Race Studies Symposium

November 29, 2010Matthew L.M. Fletcher

SAVE THE DATE: MARCH 31 – APRIL 2, 2011

The Fifth Annual Critical Race Studies Symposium will explore the relationship between race and sovereignty. Sovereignty, like race, has been invoked, understood, and deployed in contradictory ways. Historically, sovereignty has been an important vehicle through which hegemonic power has been enforced, for example, by articulating citizenship as a racial project rooted in the power to exclude. Sovereignty has also been an important tool of anti-colonial resistance crucial to liberatory struggles of people of color in the U.S. and worldwide. Race shares this complex dimension, serving as both a technology of oppression and a vehicle for resistance to that oppression.

Despite these parallels, race and sovereignty have, for the most part, been engaged as separate and mutually exclusive projects: sovereignty has primarily been linked to the struggles of Native Americans and other indigenous peoples, while the struggles of other people of color have largely been cast through a standard anti-racist narrative of citizenship and inclusion. The symposium proposes, instead, to examine how race and sovereignty intersect and are mutually constitutive, even as important distinctions remain. We propose to examine how race enters into concepts of sovereignty and how sovereignty enters into concepts of race.

AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section Call for Papers

November 15, 2010Matthew L.M. Fletcher

CALL FOR PAPERS

EMERGING MODELS OF TRIBAL AND STATE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS

The AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section is seeking submissions for its 2011 publication of selected papers. The Section will meet during the American Association of Law School’s Annual Conference on January 7, 2011. The Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section Meeting will focus on “Emerging Models of Tribal and State Cooperative Agreements.” The University of Tulsa Law Review will publish the accepted papers.

Many Tribes have entered an era in which they recognize the importance of working with states in areas of common concern to their respective citizens. As a result, Tribes are considering an increasing number of judicial agreements and other cooperative arrangements with states. The AALS Indian Nations and Indigenous Peoples Section seeks papers that analyze these emerging models and agreements. Papers should address current issues in Tribal-State relationships and how those cooperative arrangements affect tribal sovereignty. A broad range of topics in this subject area will be considered. These may include areas such as economic development, education, health and public safety, the environment, Tribal and State court agreements, and others.
