Willard and Ruby S. Miller Endowed Lecture at noon on Friday, Oct. 23, in the Foster Auditorium at Penn State University Park and via Zoom.

Her talk, “Indigenous Women and Violence: Thinking Beyond Settler Capitalism,” will examine the persistent nature of violence against Native women and discuss how combining a human rights framework with strengthened tribal sovereignty may help combat that violence and hold settler states accountable.
