Land-Grab Universities

March 5, 2021 · by · in

These next two weeks we will be focusing on land grab universities. For week 1 we will learn about what these are and discuss how our institution fits in. Then the next week we will brainstorm action steps around this.

The Land-Grab Universities Project, a High Country News investigation. For more information: https://www.landgrabu.org/

For preparation before Monday please read this article from High Country News: Land-grab universities: Expropriated Indigenous land is the foundation of the land-grant university system.

And then take a look at this interactive resource High Country News created to show the data they had been able to trace: https://www.landgrabu.org/ 

As we read through these resources, we’ll collaboratively write notes, thoughts, questions or discussion points in a google doc, which we’ll use to guide our discussion.

See you Monday!
