NCAIS Graduate Spring Workshop in Research Methods
The Cline Library, Northern Arizona University
Dr. Matthew Kruer, History, University of Chicago
Dr. Teresa Montoya, Anthropology, University of Chicago
This workshop will examine the phenomenon of extraction in the history of American settler colonialism, with a focus on the intersection between the expropriation of Indigenous homelands—the extraction of territories and resources—and the exploitation of Indigenous ways of knowing—the extraction of knowledge. The workshop will combine scholarship on environmental justice and environmental racism, the theory and practice of Indigenous archives, and histories of enclosure and resource extraction, with individual research at the Cline Library at Northern Arizona University, whose holdings are particularly strong in maps, photographs, and print materials related to the Colorado Plateau region. Students will also learn about the library’s role in facilitating the creation and implementation of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials and learn directly from local activists engaged in Indigenous land-based approaches to conservation and care.
