About Faculty Pub Night Students, staff, faculty, alumni, and members of the public are all invited to the 2026-27 series of Faculty Pub Night at the William H. Hannon Library. Eight LMU professors are selected annually to discuss their latest publication or project in a comfortable setting and format that welcomes diverse perspectives for an inclusive conversation aimed to educate the entire community. All Faculty Pub Nights are free and open to the public. About the Author's Work This talk follows three generations of Indigenous artists who sought to make a place for Native art in both North American culture and society and the broader art world, as they negotiated such questions as how to use art for social and political goals, what constitutes “Indian art,” and how to make a living as artists. By “Painting Native America” in museums, galleries, and public spaces, these artists rewrote dominant narratives of North American history, foregrounding Native perspectives while indigenizing the art world. About the Author Nicolas G. Rosenthal, Professor and Chair of the History Department, focuses on Indigenous, California, American West, and United States history. He is the author of "Painting Native American: Indigenous Artists in the Twentieth Century" (University of Nebraska Press, 2026) and "Reimagining Indian Country: Native Migration and Identity in Twentieth Century Los Angeles" (University of North Carolina Press, 2012).
