Aralee Strange Lecture: Tim San Pedro

Tim San Pedro, associate professor of multicultural and equity studies in education at the Ohio State University, will give the 4th annual Aralee Strange Lecture for Art and Poetry (on Zoom): ““Methodologies of Mutuality and Care.” Relying on Indigenous Research Methodologies, San Pedro re-stories the “everyday” interactions and resurgence efforts between five Native American mothers and their children as they seek to understand the ways lessons of Indigeneity, language revitalization and critical consciousness development occur in the home and community. The presentation will focus specifically on the ways long-established relationships between the speaker and the mothers led to the focus, purpose and eventual stories shared from this collective work.

This lecture series features scholars and scholarship focused on the intersections of visual art, poetry, equity and justice in education. This program is presented in collaboration with UGA’s Department of Language and Literacy Education and funded by the Aralee Strange Fund for Art and Poetry.

His latest work (which is central to this presentation) focuses on the intergenerational lessons learned in the homes of five Native American families — specifically, the ways they teach one another Indigenous knowledges and sovereignty rights as they relate to everyday resurgence efforts.
