This class is an introduction to the diverse practices encapsulated within Native American religion and spirituality from a comparative intertribal perspective. We explore selected religious/spiritual traditions, belief-systems, and cosmovisiones (world-views) of Native American/Indigenous peoples in the Americas. By the end of the term students should be able to identify particular aspects of Native American religion and spirituality; explain the various approaches, connections, and interrelationships between these religious/spiritual traditions, world-views and visual, artistic, literary representations; and apply historical and analytical frameworks through which to understand and appreciate the complexity of Native American religion and spirituality and its influence on Native and non-Native individuals and communities. This course is part of the Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck Initiative.

This is a seminar course exploring the connections, overlaps, and discontinuities between research-creation methodologies and Indigenous methodologies. Indigenous knowledge is created and shared through ethical methods: songwriting, singing, imagining, listening, sharing, gifting, protocols and art-making. Protocols for Indigenous methodologies and ethical community engagement will be discussed. This course will explore qualitative research methods such as interviews, listening, workshops, and communal art-making. The outcomes of this course will be a Research-Creation project, which includes a creative component (of any medium) and an accompanying written contextualization, engaging with Indigenous methodologies and their contexts in non-appropriative ways.

The New York City you know is the product of conflicts and collusions going back centuries. Underneath the city’s streets, underneath the subways and sewer lines, is a history of struggle over the design and use of urban space. This course will help you uncover that history. We will apply frameworks drawn from a variety of disciplines - science and technology studies, urban economics, racial capitalism, and more - to interrogate historical sources and narratives around foundational topics in New York’s history ranging from the building of the subways to the fiscal crisis of the 1970s. We will identify gaps and silences within these narratives, and conduct original inquiries that will deepen our collective understanding of Gotham’s development. And we will apply our research to present-day New York, developing historically-informed arguments for how the city can address present-day challenges around social, economic, and ecological injustice.
