The Society for Textual Scholarship’s

2022 Conference Program

Cultural Mappings

Loyola University Chicago, May 26–28

Land Acknowledgment

The Loyola University Chicago community acknowledges its location on the ancestral homelands of the Council of the Three Fires (the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi tribes) and a place of trade with other tribes, including the Ho-Chunk, Miami, Menominee, Sauk, and Meskwaki. We recognize that descendants of these and other North American tribes continue to live and work on this land with us. We recognize the tragic legacy of colonization, genocide, and oppression that still impacts Native American lives today. As a Jesuit university, we affirm our commitment to issues of social responsibility and justice. We further recognize our responsibility to understand, teach, and respect the past and present realities of local Native Americans and their continued connection to this land. 

Conference Protocol

All participants and events are required to create an environment in which people share their ideas rigorously and free of harassment. Any language, gestures, and behavior that creates a hostile or intimidating setting based on identity markers will not be tolerated and the person responsible will not be allowed to remain in the STS conference.
