In this episode we caught up with Dr. Mary Ann Jacobs (Lumbee), Professor and Chair of the Department of American Indian Studies at UNC Pembroke, to discuss her new book, Upon Her Shoulders: Southeastern Native Women Share Their Stories of Justice, Spirit, and Community. This book was a joint project together with Dr. Cherry Beasley (Lumbee), longtime faculty and Chair in the UNCP Nursing Program and former Interim Dean of UNCP’s College of Health Sciences, and Ulrike Wiethaus, Professor of Religion and American Ethnic Studies at Wake Forest University. Dr. Jacobs shares the story of their collaboration, the importance of preserving stories of Native women, how she incorporates these lessons in the classroom, and reads selections from the book.
