Timothy San Pedro will be the next speaker in the Indigenous Speaker Series, hosted by the School of Education’s Department of Educational Policy Studies, on Thursday, Mar. 18, at noon.

San Pedro is an associate professor of multicultural and equity studies in education at Ohio State University. His scholarship focuses on the intricate link between motivation, engagement, and identity construction to curricula and pedagogical practices that re-center content and conversations upon Indigenous histories, knowledges, and literacies.
In San Pedro’s talk, titled “Indigenous Resurgences in the Home: Storying Relationality, Answerability, and Care,” he will re-story the “everyday” interactions and resurgence efforts between five Native American mothers and their children as they seek to understand the ways lessons of Indigeneity, language revitalization, and critical consciousness development occur in the home and community.
The presentation will focus specifically on the ways long-established relationships between the speakers and their mothers led to the focus, purpose, and eventual stories shared from this collective work.
The event will be held via Zoom, and is free and open to the public. Register to receive the event link, here.
