(Laredo, Texas)-Native American nations and communities that exist on opposite sides of borders will be the focus of the next installment of Texas A&M International University’s (TAMIU) “Bringing the University to You” virtual lecture series Wednesday, March 24 at 7 p.m.
Dr. Scott Manning Stevens, associate professor of English and director of the Indigenous and Native American Studies program at Syracuse University, will present his lecture, titled, “Native America and the Other Border.”
Sponsored by Humanities Texas and hosted by TAMIU, Series lectures are free and open to the public. Participants may register here.
The “Bringing the University to You” Series lectures are designed to share with the TAMIU community and the public four sets of issues connected to Borders.
Issues discussed in the Series include the experiences of Mexican-American writers and their communities, the role of community and life experience in ethnic women’s writing, the problem of political borders for indigenous Americans whose cultures predate the modern sense of the border, and the experience of living on the Texas-México border and devoting a career to studying it.
