Join us for a discussion of the new book from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (author of “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States) that “debunks the pervasive and self-congratulatory myth that our country is proudly funded by and for immigrants.” Visit Beacon Press to read more: Not ‘A Nation of Immigrants’.
In this group, we will learn about settler colonialism and the many tactics employed as part of this ideology and policy. We will talk about immigration and the concept of immigrants versus white settlers seeking to employ colonial techniques. This group is designed for anyone who is interested in learning more about these concepts, in bringing these concepts into the classroom, and/or knowing more about the actions you can take to address it.
Thursdays, February 3 & 17, March 3 & 17 from 3-4 p.m.
8 PD hours for participating in all meetings. Register to join!
No stipend as this will be run as a book discussion with no deliverables
5 books available to check out from the Faculty Commons
1 e-book concurrent-use subscription through the BC Library
