Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members gathered on Fri., April 12, to attend OMA&D鈥檚 15th annual Samuel E. Kelly Distinguished Faculty Lecture presented by 91探花Professor Stephanie A. Fryberg in Kane Hall.
Professor Fryberg鈥檚 lecture titled 鈥淩eclaiming Native Truths: How Stereotypes and Invisibility Shape Bias Towards Native Americans鈥� was a part of the UW鈥檚 annual Parent & Family Weekend.
Professor Fryberg, member of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington state, is the William P. and Ruth Gerberding University Professor of American Indian Studies and Psychology. Her lecture examined how both stereotypical representations and the invisibility of contemporary representations (such as educators, politicians and actors) shape non-Native鈥檚 beliefs and support for issues affecting Native people, and how we can better work to alleviate contemporary forms of bias against Native people.
At the conclusion of the lecture, Professor Fryberg was presented a framed photo taken by longtime OMA&D staff member and photographer, Emile Pitre.
