American Indian Workshop
The American Indian Workshop (AIW) is the most important scholarly platform for European researchers into issues related to the native peoples of North America. For many years this experience is shared with colleagues from North America. By now the American Indian Workshop has become the most important international conference on American Indian and Inuit Studies in the world.
Initiated 1980 in Amsterdam by Professor Christian Feest (Vienna and Frankfurt) and the late Wilcomb E. Washburn, the goal of the AIW has always been to provide a platform for established academics and young scholars to share their expertise and experiences as well as to benefit from one another's critical engagement. The meetings, hosted each year by a different European scholarly institution, are now regarded as the most important in Native American Studies worldwide. In addition, its journal European Review of Native American Studies has gained pre-eminence as a scholarly forum. The domain of Native American Studies is enriched by scholars from such diverse disciplines as history, literature, anthropology, art history, gender studies, museology, ethnomusicology, religion, law, linguistics, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, Canadian and American Studies, Native American studies, performance studies, communication and media studies. The AIW has become the most innovative venue in Europe for all involved with the scholarly pursuit of this theme as well as being the place where Native American scholars and performers are honored and find a welcome reception.
