Summer 2024: Indigenous Technologies [CANCELLED]

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SUMMER’S WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED. YOU CAN STILL ENROLL IN AN INDIGENOUS TECHNOLOGIES UC BERKELEY SUMMER COURSE! PLEASE CHECK BACK IN 2025 FOR OUR NEW OFFERINGS!

July 9 — August 15

BCNM's Indigenous Technologies workshop happening this summer 2024, is a six-week online course offering our broader community a space to delve into contemporary Indigenous issues, particularly those intertwined with new media and technology. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from prominent Indigenous scholars, artists, and practitioners. Guiding the course discussions will be Sierra Edd (Diné), a Coordinator of the Indigenous Technologies program.

The workshop's content is designed to address pressing topics, including Indigenous representations in film, Indigenous Futurisms, the #LandBack and rematriation movement, Environmentalism, and Indigenous Food systems. These discussions stem from the framework by previous Indigenous Technology lectures which explore the intersection of technology, new media, and conversations about Indigeneity and settler-colonialism to critically envision a sustainable technological future.
