Lecture Dr. Andrew Jolivette Click to register TOPIC AND TIME PRESENTER(S) REGISTRATION Black Lives, Indigenous Lives: From Mattering to Thriving Black Lives, Indigenous Lives: From Mattering to Thriving FROM 4 TO 5:30 P.M. What can we learn from Black and Indigenous history, activism, and contemporary stewardship efforts in order to transform higher education, health, policing and other Western institutions? This dialogue will examine and discuss major points of cultural and historic community convergence between Black and Indigenous Peoples with a focus on contemporary movements such as Black Lives Matter and Idle No More and the dismantling of racist statues, images and mascots. Andrew Jolivétte will explore what these movements mean for enacting justice interventions and moving towards thrivance circuitry, kinship building, self-determination, and abolition as transformational modes of joy production and ceremonial stewardship. Dr. Andrew Jolivétte (Atakapa-Ishak Nation of Louisiana Tsikip/Opelousa/Heron Clan]) is professor and chair of the Ethnic Studies Department at the University of California, San Diego as well as the inaugural founding Director of Native American and Indigenous Studies at UCSD. A former professor and department chair of American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University, he is the author or editor of nine books in print or forthcoming including the Lammy Award nominated, "Indian Blood: HIV and Colonial Trauma in San Francisco’s Two-Spirit Community." His scholarship examines Native American, Indigenous, Creole, Black, Latinx, Queer, Mixed-Race, and Comparative Critical Ethnic Studies. Jolivétte is the 2020-21 MultiRacial Network Scholar in Residence for the American Personnel Association and the Series Editor of Black Indigenous Futures and Speculations at Routledge. His current book project, "Thrivance Circuitry: Queer Afro-Indigenous Futurity and Kinship," is under contract with the University of Washington Press.
