Join us for the Circle of Indigenous Nations Lunch with Faculty Featuring Dr. Mary "Fong" Hermes, Professor in the U of M Department of Curriculum & Instruction in the College of Education and Human Development.
Mary Hermes' research focuses on language revitalization and how it can connect people to the land and the planet. She explores different ways of knowing and being through feminist and indigenous lenses. Specifically, Hermes' research focuses on Ojibwe language learners and immersion teachers in K-12 classrooms. She works with schools and teachers to revitalize language that support a sustainable, Indigenous culture, creating teaching materials based on language documentation through everyday conversations with elders.
