SUMMARY:Botany Brown Bag with Dr. Theresa Ambo
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, April 13 from 12-1 pm at La Kretz Garden Pavilion for another installment of Botany Brown Bag. Dr. Theresa Ambo will give a talk titled “Moving Beyond Land Acknowledgements.” \nFormal land acknowledgments are an evolving practice designed to recognize local Indigenous Peoples and lands. Despite this uptake\, land acknowledgements remain understudied and often misunderstood with regard to purpose\, tone\, responsibility\, significance for educational equity\, and implications for the measurable support of local Indigenous communities named in these statements. In the lecture\, Dr. Ambo will share about the emergence and adoption of land acknowledgement practices\, including her current research on over 400 formal and informal statements from land-grab universities across the United States. She will provide practical recommendations for moving beyond moments of acknowledgement to support tribal sovereignty and self-determination. \nMake sure to bring your lunch! \nThis event is free and open to the public\, no RSVP required!
