Infusing Contemporary American Indian Cultural Studies across the Curriculum
A two-year faculty and curriculum development project on
contemporary Native American culture.
This project will recruit ten faculty from both humanities
and non-humanities fields to participate in a two-year long project to infuse
Contemporary American Indian Culture across the curriculum. As part of the
professional development, faculty will travel to American Indian museums and cultural centers in New Mexico
and Oklahoma, as well as visit the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation in
Mayetta, KS. Out of this professional development, the faculty cohort will
develop course modules to integrate the study of Contemporary American Indian
Culture into their courses. These courses will form part of the curriculum for
JCCC’s Certificate in American Indian Studies, to be launched in Spring 2020.
