education begins in part in the pages of a children’s book,
according to Sierra Adare-Tasiwoopa ápi. A Cherokee, she has
focused her research on stereotyping throughout American
history. Her work on the subject of children’s books and their
impact on the cultural development of children has been
published over the past several decades. A doctoral student in
American and transnational studies at University at Buffalo,
Adare-Tasiwoopa ápi will discuss “Communicating Cultural
Invisibility in Children’s Literature” on Thursday, Nov. 1, at
SUNY Cortland. The talk will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in
Corey Union, Room 201. The event is sponsored by the Campus
Artist and Lecture Series and the Faculty Development Center.
The program is geared to faculty and staff, educators and future
educators. Families with children are welcome. Adare-Tasiwoopa
