SUMMARY:Humanities Forum — Nishant Upadhyay: Indians on Indian Lands: Intersections of Race\, Caste\, and Indigeneity
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Forum Lecture with Nishant Upadhyay\nIndians on Indian Lands: Intersections of Race\, Caste\, and Indigeneity\nThis lecture is part of the Fall 2026 Humanities Forum \nIndians on Indian Lands unravels Indian diasporic complicity in its ongoing colonial relationship with Indigenous peoples\, lands\, and nations in Canada. Upadhyay examines the interwoven and simultaneous areas of dominant Indian caste complicity in processes of settler colonialism\, antiblackness\, capitalism\, brahminical supremacy\, Hindu nationalism\, and heteropatriarchy. Resource extraction in British Columbia in the 1970s through the 1990s and in present-day Alberta offers examples of spaces that illuminate the dispossession of Indigenous peoples and simultaneously reveals how race\, gender\, and caste affect labor formations. Upadhyay juxtaposes these extraction sites with examples of anticolonial activism and solidarities from Tkaronto (Toronto). Analyzing silence on settler colonialism and brahminical caste supremacy\, Upadhyay upends the idea of dominant caste Indian diasporas as racially victimized and shows that claiming victimhood denies a very real complicity in enforcing other power structures. Exploring stories of quotidian proximity and intimacy between Indigenous and South Asian communities\, Upadhyay offers meditations on anticolonial and anti-casteist ways of knowledge production\, ethical relationalities\, and solidarities. Groundbreaking and ambitious\, Indians on Indian Lands presents the case for holding Indian diasporas accountable for acts of violence within a colonial settler nation. \n\nNishant Upadhyay is an associate professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. They hold a PhD in Social and Political Thought from the York University\, Toronto. Upadhyay is the author of Indians on Indian Lands: Intersections of Race\, Caste\, and Indigeneity (University of Illinois Press\, 2024). Their research and teaching focuses on settler colonialism and empire\, intersections of race\, caste\, and indigeneity\, queer and trans of color studies\, and South Asian diaspora. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis lecture\, presented by the Dresher Center’s Humanities Forum\, is co-sponsored by the Asian Studies Program. \n\nUMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty\, staff\, students\, and visitors. To request additional accessibility accommodations\, please contact us at least five business days in advance at dreshercenter@umbc.edu. \n

SUMMARY:Artist roundtable on experimental praxis
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with Somewhere Over the Rainbow of Row Homes\, We Fly\, an intergenerational group exhibition organized by curator Angela N. Carroll\, the Center for Art\, Design\, and Visual Culture presents an artist roundtable on experimental praxis moderated by Ernest Shaw in conversation with Ada Pinkston and Lehna Huie. \n\nArtist Ernest Shaw\, Jr. is a Baltimore-based educator whose work explores the duality of the African American experience through sophisticated color and figurative art. His practice honors traditional African and African American figurative art\, often drawing on rhythmic influences from his West African drumming training. A product of the Baltimore City Public School system\, Shaw balances his artistic career with teaching in Baltimore City and as an adjunct professor at Coppin State University. \nAda Pinkston is a Baltimore-based multimedia artist\, educator\, and cultural organizer whose work investigates the erasures and mythologies surrounding Black life\, memory\, and public space. Using performance\, digital media\, and sculpture\, she creates speculative monuments that challenge conventional collective memory and invite deeper inquiry into what is forgotten. Pinkston\, who holds an M.F.A. from MICA and is currently a lecturer at Towson University\, has exhibited internationally and serves on the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture. \nLehna Huie is a multidisciplinary artist who draws inspiration from Caribbean oral histories and dream landscapes to create visual meditations on memory and lineage. Her practice combines diverse materials—such as paint\, textiles\, and found objects—to honor and personify the lands and waters of her roots. An M.F.A. graduate from MICA\, Huie has participated in numerous international exhibitions and prestigious residencies\, while also working as a Legacy Specialist preserving intergenerational artist archives. \n\nVisitor Information \nAdmission is free. \nThe CADVC is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 12 to 5 p.m.\, and Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. \nPlease visit here for directions and parking information. \nVisitors who need specific accommodations to attend the exhibition or events should contact the CADVC at cadvc@umbc.edu or 410-455-3188. \n\nAll events at CADVC are open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race\, color\, religion\, sex\, national origin\, or any other protected category under applicable federal law\, state law\, and the University’s nondiscrimination policy. \n

SUMMARY:Humanities Forum — Jorell A. Meléndez-Badillo: Puerto Rico\, Historical Thinking\, and the Politics of Forgetting in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Forum Lecture with Jorell A. Meléndez-Badillo\nPuerto Rico\, Historical Thinking\, and the Politics of Forgetting in the Caribbean\nThis lecture is part of the Fall 2026 Humanities Forum \nPuerto Rican history has been a contested space ever since its early days. From Fray Íñigo Abad y la Sierra’s 1788 book to Paul G. Miller’s Historia de Puerto Rico in the early twentieth century\, the production of history has served different political purposes. This lecture will explore the ways that history teaching and writing gave way to racialized tropes of Puerto Rican docility and laziness. More recently\, however\, the state has moved to silence or erase the past through Puerto Rico’s “politics of forgetting.” The talk ends with the ways that these ideas are being challenged by artists and cultural producers. \n\nJorell Meléndez-Badillo’s works focuses on the global circulation of radical ideas from the standpoint of working-class intellectual communities in Puerto Rico\, the Caribbean\, and Latin America. His is the author of Puerto Rico: A National History (Princeton University Press\, 2024)\, The Lettered Barriada: Workers\, Archival Power\, and the Politics of Knowledge in Puerto Rico (Duke UP\, 2021) and Páginas libres: Breve antología del pensamiento anarquista en Puerto Rico (Editora Educación Emergente\, 2021). His work on the histories of anarchism\, labor\, and radical politics has also been published in book chapters\, as well as journal and newspaper articles in Puerto Rico and Latin America. His work has appeared in Caribbean Studies Journal\, Latin American Perspectives\, and Theory in Action\, among others. Meléndez-Badillo holds a Ph.D. in Latin American History from the University of Connecticut\, where he was a Ford Foundation Fellow and a Humanities Institute Fellow. Before the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, he was Assistant Professor and Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellow at Dartmouth College. He is the co-founder and co-chair of the Puerto Rican Studies Hub at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the incoming president of the Puerto Rican Studies Association. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis lecture\, presented by the Dresher Center’s Humanities Forum\, is co-sponsored by the Latin American Studies Minor. \n\nUMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty\, staff\, students\, and visitors. To request additional accessibility accommodations\, please contact us at least five business days in advance at dreshercenter@umbc.edu. \n
