Please join Susan Burch, director of the American Studies Program at Middlebury College, for a talk about her new book,
Committed: Remembering Native Kinship in and beyond Institutions (University of North Carolina Press, 2021). The book centers on peoples’ lived experiences inside and outside the Canton Asylum, a federal psychiatric institution created specifically to contain American Indians. After the talk, Dan Cobb of UNC’s American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program will give a brief response and moderate an open discussion.
