Moving from Statement to Action: Land Acknowledgements in Practice
What does it mean for our UMBC community to have a Land Acknowledgement? This session will first offer a review of the recent history behind institutional land acknowledgements, including often-voiced critiques of them. We will then discuss the steps we have taken thus far tied specifically to UMBC's Land Acknowledgement, and converse about ways in which UMBC can more actively engage Indigenous peoples in our community and in our work.Speaker: Maggie Holland, Associate Professor & Undergraduate Program Director, Dept. of Geography & Environmental Systems.
