Neue Professorin für Indigenous Studies ab 1.10.: Eve Tuck
Wir heißen Eve Tuck (Impulsprofessur für Indigenous Studies am Institut für Kunst und Kulturwissenschaften) herzlich an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien willkommen!
Eve Tuck ist James-Weldon-Johnson-Professorin für Indigenous Studies am Steinhardt und Gallatin, New York University. Sie ist Gründungsdirektorin des Zentrums für Indigenous Studies „Center for Collaborative Indigenous Research with Communities and Lands“ (Center CIRCL) an der NYU. Eve Tuck ist Unangax̂ und ist registriertes Mitglied der Aleuten-Gemeinschaft von St. Paul Island, Alaska.
Tucks Arbeit befasst sich mit collaborative Indigenous research, Indigenous feminisms, und land education. Insgesamt konzentriert sich ihre Forschung darauf, wie Indigenous social Thought genutzt werden kann, um eine fairere und gerechtere Sozialpolitik, bedeutungsvollere soziale Bewegungen und solide Ansätze zur Dekolonialisierung zu schaffen.
During the winter semester, Eve Tuck will teach the following seminar: Important Concepts in Indigenous Studies
This seminar focuses on concepts that are at the heart of theory and practice of Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS). When initially learning core concepts of the field, it can seem that everything comes back to relations, the relational, and relating. We will attend to concepts including kinship, sovereignty, consent, land and refusal. Readings and activities allow students to understand important framings of relation, especially with lands and waters, within communities, and to more-than-human kin.
She will also give a public lecture on Thursday December 10, 18:30 h, Location tba.: Visiting and the Land Education Dreambook
In this lecture, Unangax̂ scholar Eve Tuck will share from her co-authored writing on visiting, and about the Visiting Lab in Lenapehoking. She will describe new research with an Indigenous organization to reclaim lands and waters, and the process of creating a youth arts and land education program on returned lands. The program, which was based on many activities in the Land Education Dreambook, was an important form of regeneration of relationships for youth, families, and communities.
In addition, Eve Tuck will give a talk at the EARN conference in November and will be available for a limited number of individual consultations.
