The Concept of Progress: An Indigenous Intervention

The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Indigenous Liberal
Studies Department is convening an interdisciplinary conference March
13 – 15, 2014, exploring the idea of “Progress.” The Indigenous
Intervention on Progress is being convened to bring forth ideas
related to the Indigenous experience with the concept of “Progress”
in culture, literature, philosophy, history, politics, economics,
film, television, art, music, social theory, business. The concept of
Progress has many applications and responses in the Indigenous world
including assimilation, economic development, education, cultural
change, artistic expression, evolution/devolution, language,
psychology, and more.

An online journal of papers from this conference will be published
through IAIA.
