In this course, we will ask ourselves these questions in relation to a specific project of national public memory, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), which focused on what was called the \u201cIndian Residential School\u201d system, which ran from 1831-1996. Canadian residential schools were a collaboration of church and state intentionally designed as a system of cultural genocide to force Indigenous children to assimilate to dominant settler society and to believe their cultures were inferior to white, Christian culture. In this course, we will dig deep into the texts and context of the TRC, listening especially to the voices of survivors and Indigenous scholars. We will think hard about what it means practically and politically for a settler-colonial nation to use stories, public memory, and ceremonies to call itself to account for its systems of genocide and territorial dispossession. We will also think comparatively about the history of US boarding schools for Indigenous children, including Harvard\u2019s short-lived \u201cIndian College.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-623b83f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"623b83f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Spring 2023: English 90rc Re-mediating Colonialism<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25339b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"25339b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f441d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f441d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This class will focus on how telling stories on paper, online, and on the land continue to make and remake North America and Turtle Island. Treaties, deeds of property, maps that survey a domain to facilitate resource extraction, sacred scriptures, missionary journalism, transcripts of Royal Commissions, and petitions from representatives of Indigenous nations are all textual modes that claim land, with greater or lesser force. Today, many digital humanities projects attempt to re-mediate these texts to forward a critical consciousness of the ongoing effects and assumptions of settler colonial stories of land (see the websites of <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowheadinstitute.org\/\">the<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowheadinstitute.org\/\">Yellowhead Institute<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landgrabu.org\/\">the<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landgrabu.org\/\">Land Grab Universities project<\/a>). The readings will focus on Indigenous\/settler relations in Canada and the United States, with attention to book history, the materiality of texts, and diverse forms of mediation (e.g. newspapers, statues, websites, TikTok). We will also take field trips to archives and sites in the Cambridge area that help us to see and experience the interaction of texts, land, and memory in the making of colonial nations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcbea2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fcbea2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">University of Toronto<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31b0fd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"31b0fd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04cd9a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"04cd9a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fall 2019: First Year Foundations Seminar \u201cThe Bible and Migration\u201d <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d5f9fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5d5f9fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47dc0c1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"47dc0c1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"id3\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I teach both undergraduate and graduate students in larger classes and in smaller settings.

Why do some people think the bible tells them to welcome refugees, while others think it tells them to build walls to keep them &#8220;out&#8221;? From the expulsion of Adam and Eve from \u201cparadise\u201d to journeys both ancient and modern to \u201cthe promised land\u201d, biblical stories continue to play a complex role in modern literature and contemporary political debates about migration, refugees, and homelands. In this seminar, you will learn how to critically read and convincingly write about biblical narratives and their echoes with a focus on four themes: paradise, promised land, exile, and sanctuary. This course will orient you to studying at U of T, while also giving us all a chance to ask what it means to think and write about the bible and the politics of migration while studying in the Toronto region, the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4458b41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4458b41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Undergraduate courses since 2010<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-823a956 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"823a956\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c7e566 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c7e566\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"id3\">\n<ul>\n<li>2018, 2017: Digital Humanities Research Methods Course (RLG498S)<\/li>\n<li>2016, 2010, 2008: Religion in the Public Sphere Community-Engaged Learning (RLG426S)<\/li>\n<li>2015-2016, 2014-2015, 2012-2013: Research Opportunities Program: Spiritual Invention of a Nation Digital Storytelling Project (directing 1-4 students as research and technical assistants) (RLG299Y)<\/li>\n<li>2015, 2014:&nbsp;Museums and Material Religion (RLG381F)<\/li>\n<li>2014-2015, 2013-2014: Big Ideas Course: The Internet: Saving Civilization or Trashing the Planet?
