Portland State of Mind

From October 12-21, PSU will be hosting Portland State of Mind. There are two events that may be of particular interest to anthropology students. Both are free and open to the public:
The School of Gender, Race and Nations (SGRN) is hosting “Transnational Intersections” on Tuesday, October 17 from 2:30-4:00pm. Faculty members from departments and programs in the SGRN discuss the ways in which their research and teaching are both transnational and intersectional, complicating—indeed, challenging—dominant methodological and pedagogical approaches. Please join Sri Craven (associate professor, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies), Elena Avilés (assistant professor, Chicano/Latino Studies) Eddy Alvarez (assistant professor, Women, Gender, And Sexuality Studies/University Studies), and Ho’esta Mo’e’hahne (scholar in residence, Indigenous Nations Studies) for an intriguing discussion moderated by Winston Grady-Willis (director, SGRN, professor, Black Studies). 
Indigenous Nations Studies (INST) is hosting: “Reclaiming the Urban Forest for Food, Medicine, and Ceremony” on October 18, 2017 from 6:00-8:30 pm in the Native American Student and Community Center (NASCC) rm 110. Join INST instructor Judy BlueHorse Skelton and local community leaders for an overview of Indigenous cultural collaboration projects in the Portland Metro Region.
