The treaty across time with Tarren Andrews

Описание: The Treaty of Hell Gate was signed in 1855, laying out the terms of land, trade, and negotiation between the United States government and the Salish and Kutenai tribes. But this document has a much older history, one that early English literary scholar and historian Tarren Andrews can trace back to the Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum, 9th-century peace agreement between Alfred of Wessex and Guthrum, the Viking ruler of East Anglia.

Tarren Andrews is Assistant Professor in Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. She received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She has graduate certificates in Native American and Indigenous Studies; Culture, Language, and Social Practice; and College Teaching. Her scholarship employs critical Indigenous studies to re-evaluate and re-narrativize stories of the early medieval North Atlantic (pre-1100).

In her contributions to Throughlines (https://www.throughlines.org), Andrews shares how she structures classes that study a large expanse of time and a variety of critical disciplines, including early English legal codes, feminist theory, Indigenous studies, and contemporary poetry.
