Melissa Beard Jacob, PhD, "Reclaiming My Family’s Story: Cultural Trauma and Indigenous Ways of Knowing"

This presentation is an Indigenous autoethnographic study of a family’s story of survival through the Native American boarding school system. Although this project was in a part an academic exercise, it was also an effort to reclaim pieces of a family’s experience that was purposefully silenced and erased from mainstream hegemonic nationalist narratives. 

This webinar is presented in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences, Ohio State Newark Earthworks Center, American Indian Studies, and the Department of History.
