The American Indian Studies Graduate Student Consortium (AISGSC) is dedicated to the enhancement of graduate level training and education.  The AISGSC is currently housed at Michigan State University.  It is coordinated by graduate students from various universities, and supervised by university faculty.  For more information, please visit the American Indian Studies Consortium.

The website is the focal point of an expanded consortium, built within the framework established by the Arts and Letters Deans of the CIC (a consortium of Big Ten Universities and the University of Chicago), but which is now open to all universities and colleges interested in training graduate students in American Indian studies.  Please contact us as aisgsc@gmail.com.

INROADS: Current Voices in American Indian Studies is a podcast series created by Kellie Jean Hogue and Sarah Dees, members of the American Indian Studies Graduate Student Consortium.

In April 2010, Justin Carroll sat down with Dr. Ann Little, a professor of history at Colorado State University. Dr. Little is the author of Abraham in Arms: War and Gender in Colonial New England and the wildly popular blog, Historiann.com, and she came to Michigan State University to give a talk on her new book and to speak with Dr. Susan Sleeper-Smith’s history class. Dr. Little graciously allowed him to record her talk and to sit in and record her Q&A with Dr. Sleeper-Smith’s students.

The AISGSC would like to thank Dr. Ann Little, Dr. Susan Sleeper-Smith, and her students for their participation and help with this podcast. Thank you.
