SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Wisdom and Discernment in Research:  American Culture Consortium Welcome Session
DESCRIPTION:Please join the  American Culture Consortium Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop for our Welcome Session on Thursday Sept.\n24\, 2026 from 10:00 am – 11:30 am in Angel Hall\, room 3241. We will discuss this year’s ACC workshop\, meet fellow graduate students\,\nand partake in Panera coffee and pastries.\n\n For the 2026-27 year\, the ACC\nworkshop theme is Wisdom and Discernment in Research\, centering Christopher\nJ. Pexa's Translated Nation: Rewriting the Dakhota Oyate\, which\nexplores how the Dakhota [Dakota/Lakota/Nakota Sioux] people and culture have\nbeen (mis)translated into the English language and US cultural meanings.\nPexa \"rewrites\" those translations by analyzing Dakota literature published\nsince the Dakota War of 1862 through an interpretive method guided by thióšpaye ethics.\n\nPexa’s literary and historical analysis inspires questions of\nhow \"knowing\" and \"truths\" in US research are communicated\, translated\, and\ninfluenced by ideas of wisdom and discernment. Specific questions we might discuss are: How does culture influence what it means to be discerning and wise? How does research influence what it means to be discerning and wise?\nHow is discernment determined\, and what constitutes wise discernment in US\nculture and other\, non-US cultures within the US academy? How does our own\nresearch reflect our personal ideas of discernment and wisdom?
