Hungry Listening, Ethnographic Redress
The Indigenous Studies Program presents a seminar by Dr Dylan Robinson (St贸:l艒)
In 1929, folklorist Marius Barbeau writes about the significant collection of Indigenous songs represented in the Canadian Museum of History: 鈥渁bout three thousand of these are filed away at the museum.鈥� Though efforts have been made by many museums in Canada to respond to Indigenous calls for the return and repatriation of Indigenous belongings, similar initiatives have yet to occur for songs that remain incarcerated in museum archives. This talk proposes Indigenous-defined methods of ethnographic redress that challenge settler colonial forms of 鈥渉ungry listening鈥�.聽
After the lecture, Dr Robinson will participate in a Q&A.
Admission is free. Everyone is welcome.
RSVPs are encourage through , by indigenous.studies [at] mcgill.ca (email), or phone: 514-398-8097.
