Title: Summer Internship for Native Americans in Genomics (SING) Workshop Description: The Institute for Genomic Biology will once again be hosting the Summer Internship for Native Americans in Genomics (SING) Workshop. The workshop will take place from August 4-10, 2013, at the IGB to discuss genomics as a tool for Native American communities and assist in the training of Native Americans in the concepts and methods currently used in genomics. The aims of the workshop are to facilitate discussions on indigenous values and whether scientific methods can be beneficially incorporated with these values, and to provide awareness of how genomics is currently used as a tool to assist in projects focused on natural resources, history and biomedicine. Additional instruction in fundamental concepts and methods in genomics and bioinformatics, including both theoretical aspects and practical laboratory- and computer-based training, will take place. Combining ethical, legal, and social discussions surrounding historical Native American encounters with science and hands-on training in the latest genomics techniques and analytical programs, the goal of the workshop is to help prepare participants for future leadership positions in science research and teaching careers.
The workshop is open to tribal college students, community college students, university undergraduate students and graduate students, and individuals who would like to continue their education in the sciences.
Registration is now open, and full details can be found at http://conferences.igb.illinois.edu/sing/. |

Title: New England American Studies Association 2013 Conference-Repression,
Rebellion, and Representation: Cultural Challenges in New England and
Beyond
The Mashantucket Pequot Reservation, established in 1666, is one of the oldest continuously occupied reservations in the United States. The reservations history of land loss and the reacquisition of lost land by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation two hundred years later are emblematic of challenges faced by indigenous and minority cultures and also representative of the ways in which indigenous and minority groups challenge hegemonic culture. From the coerced assimilation of Native persons, to searches for religious freedom, the development of free and enslaved African American communities during slavery, the arrival of European ethnic groups, Latino groups, and more contemporary identity politics, New England represents a microcosm of larger North American and now global cultural challenges. These challenges often manifest in the form of repression of non-dominant norms and ideals, rebellion against dominant ideals, and conflict over the representation of indigenous and minority identities in past and present cultural landscapes. NEASA invites proposals for the 2013 conference, Cultural Challenges in New England, which will combine scholarly, community, and/or artistic investigation of sociocultural, political, economic, and gendered discourses on cultural challenges. There will be a series of panels, workshops, and participatory forums for exploration of these cultural challenges. We also welcome submissions from educators, curators, public historians, and creative artists. In addition to individual paper proposals, we also welcome submissions for roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, and multimedia sessions including film screenings, online presentations, and lightning shorts. Proposals should include a 250-word abstract and title, as well as the authors name, address (including email), and institutional or professional affiliation. For panel proposals, please include contact information for all participants, as well as a brief (no more than two page) description of the session topic and format. Submit proposals by April 20th, 2013 to neasaconference13@gmail.com. Proposals or queries may also be sent to:

Title: Indigenous Cultures of Print in Early America The 2013 Summer Seminar in the History of the Book in American Culture at AAS will be led by Philip Round, who is Professor of English at the University of Iowa. His book Removable Type: Histories of the Book in Indian Country, 1663-1880 (North Carolina, 2010), was awarded the Modern Language Associations James Russell Lowell Prize in 2011. The seminar is motivated by a simple question: Where does American Indian Literature come from? When they hear the category Native American Writers most readers think immediately of best-selling contemporary authors like N. Scott Momaday, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and Leslie Marmon Silko. Such authors are often praised for their authentic connection to an oral tradition, rendering it legible for outsiders to view. But what is the printed legacy of Native American literature? This years summer seminar will shed light on the long history of tribal literary traditions that are made up of a whole range of textual practices, from oral storytelling to written alphabetic and syllabary texts, from individual authorship to corporate and collaborative composition. Drawing on the extensive collection of American Indian print and manuscript materials housed at the AAS, the seminar will give teachers and scholars hands-on experience with the textual cultures of Native peoples from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Applications are welcome from graduate students, public and tribal historians, librarians, and college and university faculty. The application deadline is March 29, 2013. Further details and application materials can be found on the AAS website, at http://www.americanantiquarian.org/sumsem13.htm.
