Boston Terror: The Origins of Ecological Genocide In Your Backyard (and how you can stop it)
From the perspectives of David Shane Lowry’s anthropological fieldwork/conversations with American Indian communities (e.g., the Lumbee Tribe) and the MIT community, he will introduce Boston University community members to their proximities to and relationships with the creation of policies, educational models and corporate cultures that displace American Indian (Indigenous) peoples in the United States and, simultaneously, create a national economy of ecological disruption and persistent environmental disrepair. Within this conversation, he will focus on an ongoing tension at the center of American life that needs to be quickly resolved: wide scale suppression of American Indian (Indigenous) presence in everyday American institutions (such as BU) vs. a rapidly increasing need for everyone across the United States and the world to have access to American Indian (Indigenous) knowledge and political authority.
