As part of the Fall Fridays Scholarship WebinAAR Series, this webinar explores the future of scholarship regarding the intersection of human rights and religion.

The webinar is structured as a conversation with a moderator and four Indigenous teacher-scholars from various career stages and disciplines, around how theories and methods from Native American and Indigenous studies can offer critical interventions to responsible pedagogy.
