Beamer-Schneider Lecture in Ethics and Civics

The Beamer-Schneider Lecture in Ethics and Civics will feature Kyle Powys Whyte, an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and the Timnick Chair in the Humanities at Michigan State University. He will lead two events:

• A lecture titled “Indigenizing Futures, Decolonizing Our Lands: Indigenous Methods for Transformation” Friday, Oct. 13, at 12:45 p.m. at the Inamori Center in Tinkham Veale University Center; and
• A “Decolonizing Cleveland” participatory charrette Saturday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Clark Hall 309.

The Beamer Schneider Lecture in Ethics and Civics, a biennial event, brings internationally known thinkers and practitioners to campus to engage in public ethics on important issues of our time. This year, Whyte, along with members of the Cleveland indigenous community and representatives of the Social Justice Institute, will lead attendees in considering whether decolonization has a place in Cleveland and if so, how. All events are open to the public. RSVPs are needed no later than Oct. 11 to renee.holland@case.edu for lunch on Saturday, Oct. 14. Learn more about the events. Download the flier.
