Elspeth Iralu — “Indigenous Epistemologies for the Time Being”
April 16 @ 12:00 pm | Humanities 1, Room 210
The Center for South Asian Studies and Center for Cultural Studies presents Elspeth Iralu speaking on “Indigenous Epistemologies for the Time Being.”
In this talk, Professor Iralu examines Naga modes of storytelling as anticolonial epistemologies that enact Naga sovereignty in the here and now. Reflecting on the capacity of storytelling to facilitate movement between past, present, and future, I highlight moments of visual and aural attention that shape the Indigenous present.
