Inaugural Lecture for John Spencer Professorship in African Studies, Jacob Tropp

Sponsored by:
Academic Affairs
The Challenges of “Traditional” Healing in South Africa’s Colonial Moment Since the ending of apartheid in 1994, intense public debates have erupted over the role of “traditional” healing in contemporary South African society. Despite the broadly accepted goals of undoing inherited state policies of the colonial and apartheid past that discriminated against Africans’ diverse healing systems and practices, there are still many unresolved questions regarding how to formally define, regulate, and incorporate “traditional” healing systems into the country’s existing health care framework.

Anthony Webster Lecture: “I don’t write Navajo poetry, I just speak the poetry in Navajo:”

This talk considers the imagined future publics of Navajos who write poetry in a variety of languages, and especially in Navajo, and how these poets have responded to a certain dominant language ideology of standardization that has crept into Navajo views about writing Navajo. Such views can stifle or discourage grassroots literacy practices in Navajo because they judge them against a standardizing view of writing. This seems to have led to the emergence of poetry composed and performed in Navajo on YouTube.
