NIRAS aims to center Native and Indigenous epistemological and methodological frameworks that are otherwise ignored within dominant Western academic settings. They also take a transnational approach to Indigeneity that disrupts settler borders and uplifts Indigenous experiences across the globe. Additionally\, in honor of the Native American Music and Dance Conference organized by Dr. Vince Whipple (Lakota/Diné) in 2022 – the center is excited to continue to integrate the arts as a prominent part of our symposium. NIRAS will include visual performances by local and regional Indigenous artists. \nVisit link below for more information on submission guidelines. Proposals due Friday\, February 14\, 2025 by 11:59pm.  \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeExXFgRpdnEZb5Er0zXURCDyU7mRik1ar85pi1b-Kap1gNjQ/viewform
