CAN THE LAND TRULY BE DECOLONIZED?

As part of the Lepage Center’s 2020–21 six-part event series on “Decolonizing History,” we explored the theme of “Decolonizing Land” during the month of October. We began with a conversation about treaty law with <a href="https://as.nyu.edu/faculty/elizabeth-ellis.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Elizabeth Ellis</a>, Assistant Professor of History at NYU. Our second event continued the discussion with a roundtable featuring <a href="https://www.newcastle.edu.au/profile/john-maynard" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. John Maynard</a>, Professor of Indigenous History at the University of Newcastle (Australia), <a href="https://history.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core-faculty/doug-kiel.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Doug Kiel</a>, professor of Native American History at Northwestern University (Chicago, USA), and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tembeka_Ngcukaitobi" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Tembeka Ngcukaitobi</a>, a South African lawyer and legal historian. Our last event of the month featured Villanova’s own Dr. Whitney Martinko, an Associate Professor of History. <a href="https://medium.com/hindsights/can-the-land-truly-be-decolonized-144a286c7c17">Click Here</a>
