“ReVisioning American History” — CU Students Invite Ward Churchill Back to Teach
October 1, 2007 on 1:29 am | In Act Now, Ward SpeaksWard Churchill was always one of the University of Colorado-Boulder’s most popular teachers, but student opinion was entirely disregarded in the Regents’ decision to fire Prof. Churchill.
Now, student organizations have responded by inviting Ward Churchill back to teach on a voluntary basis, starting Tuesday Oct. 2, 2007. The course is entitled “ReVisioning American History: Colonization, Genocide, and Formation of the U.S. Settler State.”
According to Professor Churchill,
This course is an entirely voluntary exercise for all parties involved. It carries no credit, fulfills no institutional requirements, involves payment of no tuition, entails no paycheck to its instructor . . . The sole purpose of the course is to provide those desiring it a critical and comprehensive alternative to the triumphal narrative upon which the eurosupremacist orthodoxy of scholarship has been constructed, refined, and is currently being (re)imposed with increasing rigidity on campuses across the United States. . . .
