In the Spring of 2022, Dr. Emily Monty (University of Kansas), now a graduate of the History of Art and Architecture PhD program, led undergraduates in a seminar project titled, “Illustrating Indigenous Knowledge in European Print.” The course examined European publications about the natural and cultural history of the Americas through a decolonial lens. The essays prepared for the course have now been uploaded to the John Carter Brown Library’s Americana platform. 

All of the material for the project was written by: Michal Loren, Dawson Phillips, Rachel Moss, Zoe Zimmermann, Quinn Erickson, Qile Jiang, Isa Sharfstein, Mick Chivers, Audrey Wijono, Champ Turner, Anika Bahl, George Nickoll, and Ethan Asis.

The content was edited and migrated to Americana by Michal Loren, Rachel Moss, and Emily Monty.
