Past Event

Please join us for the inaugural lectures for ICSLAC TALKS, a series of interdisciplinary lectures and events that seek to provide a public forum for challenging ideas. The ICSLAC TALKS series collaborates with research clusters within the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture, at Carleton University to stage lectures, workshops, and other events.

ICSLAC and the Centre for Transnational Cultural Analysis (CTCA) is pleased to announce the visit of Dr. Jolene Rickard, celebrated and innovative art historian, artist, and professor. Dr. Rickard’s artistic and academic work explores issues of indigeneity within a global context. Her public lecture at the National Gallery of Canada and her workshop at Carleton University will focus on the intersection between indigeneity, migration, and diaspora.

Dr. Rickard (Tuscarora Nation) is an Associate Professor at Cornell University where she directs the American Indian Program and teaches courses including “The Museum & the Other,” “Indigenous Art, Film & New Media: Anti-Colonial Studies,” and “Photography & the Colonial Gaze.” She has been an artist in residence at Banff, and a participant in the Sydney Biennale, as well as the Te Tihi Scholar/Artist Gathering in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Dr. Rickard’s research is concerned with indigeneity across political borders. Her forthcoming book, Visualizing Sovereignty, deals with the Americas, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, and proposes a new approach to indigenous aesthetics. Dr. Rickard is currently a recipient of a Ford Foundation Research Grant.
