A conversation with Meredith McCoy (History and American Studies) about her work with and for native communities.
Some notes: in describing work she and her students did with the Newberry Library, Meredith said that nobody had previously had access to a certain priest's archival material; we should say that very few had.
Carleton's Elder in Residence program has advanced since we recorded the conversation Ida Downwind joined us last term. We've also welcomed to campus our Indigenous Communities Liaison.

Get ready for the launch of Humanities Centered — the first ever podcast from Carleton College's Humanities Center! What does humanities research look like at a small liberal arts college? How do students and faculty collaborate on original research and creative work? Director Clara Hardy introduces who we are, what the podcast is going to be, and why we are doing it.
The Humanities Center at Carleton cultivates the intellectual and cultural life at the College…
- by providing a locus for innovative research and interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and students
- by fostering, coordinating, and publicizing diverse programming on campus
- by engaging students in the practice of the humanities, and
- by interrogating the relationship between humanistic study and artistic, ethical, and political issues in the contemporary world.
