September 19-20, 2014

Hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research
University of California, Santa Cruz
Humanities Building 1, Room 210

This first plenary session will introduce the researchers to the aims and activities the project as a whole, offer intensive opportunity for the researchers to get to know one another and each other’s research interests, as well as exploring together how narratives and artifacts are closely intertwined with the construction of indigeneity. This meeting will, in addition, provide formal and informal opportunities for the project group to concretize the agenda and activities over its full extent, including in the periods between the plenary sessions.
