2004-2005 FellowsDavid Anthony Tyeeme Clark Professor Clark has several publications centrally concerned with as he states "symbols and metaphors—and the politics of possession and dispossession." During his postdoctoral fellowship year, Dr. Clark continued his project "Roots of Red Power: American Indian Protest and Resistance, From Wounded Knee to the American Indian Chicago Conference," a study that will document the "history of American Indian activism and advocacy, as well as a cultural and gender study of Indigenous voice." Professor Clark joined the faculty of the American Indian Studies program at the University of Illinois in the Fall of 2005.Larry Emerson
His dissertation work, entitled "'Hozho Nahazdlii': Towards a Practice of Dine' Decolonization," investigates and seeks to understand "the dialectical nature of colonialism and decolonization." Professor Emerson's research and writing works to articulate "decolonized notions of Dine' education" by describing "Dine' patterns of resistance to colonialism through the active engagement and advocacy of Dine' non-modern, traditional thought and identity." During the semester of Spring 2006, Dr. Emerson returned to UIUC as a visiting scholar and taught a course called "Indigenous Learning and Decolonizing Methodologies." |
Dr. Emerson is a visiting professor and consultant for Native American Scholars and Collaborators at San Diego State University and lives in Shiprock, Navajo Nation, New Mexico. Professor Emerson has been an active lecturer and conference presenter and provided a wealth of professional services to urban foundations and Indigenous Nations. Professor Emerson plans to use the Postdoctoral Fellowship year to further his dissertation research and develop his dissertation into a book manuscript.
