For this installment of “Profs Talk Art,” we talked to Dr. Rose Stremlau, a History Professor whose work focuses on the study of the Indigenous South; American Indian women, gender, and sexualities; families and kinship; federal Indian policy; and sexual violence in American History. She looked at Native American artist Wendy Red Star’s The Last Thanks, a satirical photograph currently in Chambers building. Watch the video here (subtitles available).
