The impact that Indigenous art had on European and American artists is well known—but lesser known is the influence of Europeans on Indigenous artists. Many major exhibitions are now exploring this phenomenon, Susan Tellman writes.

Excited to share the findings from Therese Christensen's and my article! In a nutshell: living in Denmark doesn't prevent you from experiencing a motherhood earnings penalty, but it does give you access to government benefits that help offset those financial losses.
#Umich @umichstonecid.bsky.social Director @sashakillewald.bsky.social asks, “Can government programs that provide financial support to parents offset the motherhood penalty in earnings?” Learn more in the article in the @us.theconversation.com 🧵 (1/2) #SocialInequality

Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave policies erase 80% of the ‘motherhood penalty’ for working moms
Two researchers found that Danish government benefits do not fully offset moms’ lost earnings. But they do help offset lost income for working women with kids.

Nicely said, Ryan.
The 1956 Lumbee Act was amended this week, concluding a decades-long effort to have Congress strike discriminatory language that subjected Lumbees to nearly 70 years of partial federal recognition. But no longer. The Lumbee Tribe of NC is now *fully* recognized by the US—the 575th Native Nation.
The reconciled NDAA includes a provision to amend the 1956 Lumbee Act by removing a discriminatory, Termination-Era clause & inserting new language to affirm the Tribe's federal status. Here are a few resources to help make sense of what's happening & why. I may post more later.
