The 2025 A.S.W. Rosenbach Lectures in Bibliography on Indigenous Ecologies of the Page: Bibliography, Birchbark, and Remediation will be given by Kelly Wisecup, Associate Professor of English, Northwestern University 

Lecture one begins the series by considering the relationships—possible, deferred, and disavowed—between the fields of book history and bibliography on the one hand and Indigenous books on the other. Setting up the week’s focus on birchbark pages and bookmaking, Wisecup argues that the page plays an important yet overlooked role in Indigenous peoples’ engagement with the book. To model possible new relationships between bibliography and Indigenous book history, she rereads D.H. McKenzie’s essay on the Treaty of Waitangi in Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts alongside Indigenous peoples’ use of the page as a site for representing and critiquing conceptions of Indigeneity and the book.
