Dr. Ned Blackhawk
Dr. Blackhawk is a renowned scholar in Native American and Indigenous history, having authored and co-edited four influential books. His insightful articles and reviews have been featured in prestigious publications such as The New York Times Book Review, American Quarterly, and Ethnohistory.
Moderating this lecture will be Dr. Jack Tchen, a historian, curator, and writer whose work focuses on opening up archives, museums, organizations, and classroom spaces to the stories and realities of those who have been excluded.
"This lecture with Dr. Blackhawk promises to be a profound exploration of Native American history and its relevance today," says Stephanie Hill Wilchfort, Ronay Menschel Director and President of MCNY. "We are honored to host such a distinguished scholar who will challenge us to rethink our understanding of U.S. history through the lens of Indigenous perspectives."
