Dr. Hunt’s research focuses on the ways that Indigenous knowledge is problematized or erased in the classroom. There have been numerous instances of Indigenous knowledge being dismissed or discredited in the field of science. Native Americans have often been reduced to stereotypes in seen media — if they are even seen at all. Join us to learn more about how Dr. Hunt advocates for, celebrates, and centers Indigeneity in her work.
Professional Previews will take place on Zoom. Programs are recorded and registrants can access previous topics.
We recommend this program for middle school and up, but all ages are welcome. Parents and teachers are invited to participate with their children or students.
