Dr. Gerald Vizenor<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gerald Vizenor<\/a>, Professor Emeritus of American Studies at the University of California, and a citizen of the White Earth (Anishinaabe) Nation of Minnesota, is \u201cone of the most celebrated Indigenous writers of the modern era,\u201d and \u201carguably the most accomplished and prolific intellectual in the field of Native American Studies.\u201d Over the past five decades he has authored more than 30 books \u2014 from novels, short stories, essays, and poetry to screenplays, radio scripts, and cultural criticism \u201cranging widely across terrains of the artistic, literary, philosophical, linguistic, historical, ethnographic and sociological aspects of interpreting native stories.\u201d He is also the principal writer for the White Earth Nation Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Named to Utne Reader\u2019s list of one hundred \u201cpeople who could change your life,\u201d Vizenor\u2019s crucial and liberating theories on Survivance, natural reason and the Postindian are highly influential in the field. His concept of \u2018Survivance\u2019, in particular, is widely cited for \u201crevolutionizing our understanding of the lives, creative impulses, literary practices and histories of the Native Peoples of North America.\u201d Hailed as a brilliant ironist, his surreal and satirical trickster novels have been likened to the speculative fiction of Margaret Atwood. \u201cVizenor\u2019s brilliance is \u2018always tricky, but never tragic.\u2019… a necessary healing disturbance.\u201d As frequently noted, \u201cVizenor is unique in that he does not remind you of anyone else\u201d, no more so than in his evocative poetry which joins the traditions of Japanese haiku and Chippewa dream songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His works have been translated into several languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese, and have earned him two prestigious American Book Awards. Vizenor is also the recipient of the Distinguished Minnesotan Award, an honorary doctorate from Macalester College, and Yale University has archived his collected manuscripts. He is currently Distinguished Visitor at the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2010 Gerald Vizenor was a featured speaker at Carleton\u2019s New Sun Conference on Aboriginal Arts. \u201cHe was erudite, ironic, droll, cerebral, charming, amusing and thoroughly engaging.\u201d On that occasion Carleton\u2019s student Word Warrior Society honoured him for his unparalleled contributions to the field of Indigenous Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, March 25, 2020, Carleton University welcomes back Professor Vizenor to deliver a keynote lecture in the Fenn Lounge, Residence Commons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
