Join us for a lecture by Dr. Bethany Hughes, Associate Professor from the University of Michigan!
Dr. Bethany Hughes (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) is a performance scholar and cultural historian interested in how performance constructs culturally recognizable categories and offers possibilities to resist or remake those same categories. Her first book, Redface: Race, Performance, and Indigeneity (forthcoming with NYU Press) draws on the fields of Native American Studies, Theatre, and Performance Studies asking questions about racialization, representation, authenticity, and authority.
