Oct. 3: From Myth to Malice: Affective and Political Consequences of False Claims to Indigeneity

[Arts Communications]

Join Political Science for the latest event in their Scholar Spotlight Series featuring Dr. Rowland Robinson

>From Myth to Malice: Affective and Political Consequences of False Claims to Indigeneity

October 3, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., HH 341

In this talk, Dr. Robinson will interrogate the phenomenon of false Indigenous identity claims and their corrosive effects on Indigenous communities. Drawing on personal experience, historical precedents, and critical Indigenous scholarship, he situates these practices within the broader logic of settler colonialism and its drive toward self-indigenization. In particular, he will focus on the drive to consume and assume historical Indigenous suffering in the effort to cohere false claims.
