Multicultural Center Presents Virtual Lunch & Learn Today: Two Spirit Identity

Learn over your lunch break! The Center for Multicultural and Diversity Education is presenting the second in their series of virtual Lunch and Learn sessions this spring, titled "Two Spirit Identity." This program will be held from noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, March 8, on Zoom.

People should come to this talk if they are interested in learning about Indigenous Two-Spirit Peoples, (Re)Membering Them, and their sacred places within Indigenous communities prior to settler colonialism.

This program will be presented by Nicholas Wilson. Wilson is a fourth-year doctoral student in the University of Arizona's Center for the Study of Higher Education. Wilson's ongoing research, teaching and service are dedicated to (Re)Establishing Indigenous Intellectual Kinship & Community in Education. Wilson has a master's degree in Student Affairs with an emphasis in supporting Native American college students and has worked within the academy in various capacities for more than a decade. Wilson is a founding board member of the Indigenous Intellectual Warriors, an Indigenous non-profit started by a group of emerging Indigenous male scholars who have been meeting monthly to discuss Indigenous Masculinities, Gender and Sexuality, and most recently, Indigenous Lessons in Love and Loss. Today, Wilson will be speaking about what it means to (Re)Member Indigenous Two-Spirit Peoples & Identities.
