Greetings CPHS colleagues:

Please attend this colloquium for the open rank search for a faculty member in Indigenous Scholarship.  If you would like to come - space is reserved - so please RSVP to Lesley Yates-Pollard at lesleyyp at uoregon.edu<mailto:lesleyyp at uoregon.edu>

Michelle's interdisciplinary scholarship and personal experiences are deeply intertwined.  As a member of the Yakama Nation, she understands how decolonization is an important priority for Indigenous communities.  Thus, she seeks to teach and research in ways that empower communities by working towards social justice.  Her community-based research focuses on her home reservation community as well as the San Diego-area (Kumeyaay homeland), where she teaches during the academic year.  Her research areas of interest include: gender, education, Tribal community wellness, and decolonization. In this talk, Michelle will discuss the importance of an educational mission that draws from Indigenous cultural teachings. She will highlight Plateau insights into how we can make educational and social systems work for all.

If you cannot make the colloquium - there will be an open discussion with the candidate from 1-2 pm in the same room - 119 Lokey - immediately following the colloquium.  For students especially, if you are not able to make the colloquium please plan on coming to the 1-2pm meeting to ask questions, meet Dr. Jacob, and tell her how great it would be for her to come and work with us at UO!

Send your RSVP ASAP given our space limits!
