Rosenberry Lecture: Reckoning with Historic Place Names
Across the United States, the names of geographical features are being reevaluated in light of additional perspectives on the challenging history embedded in those names. Join Stacy Coleman, Assistant Director of Tribal Affairs for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, for an exploration of the transparent, community-driven research that goes into renaming efforts across the Centennial State. This discussion on this fascinating and complicated topic will give you a deeper understanding of how geography and place names shape communities, as well as the challenges faced when reckoning with historical wrongdoings that are etched in the cartography of our nation.

Prior to her current role with DNR, for the past 15 years Stacy worked for the United States Department of Justice concurrently serving as Senior Counsel, Tribal Issues Coordinator, and the Law Clerk Program Coordinator (Denver Office) for the Environmental Enforcement Section (EES). Stacy has significant experience as a civil litigator specializing in complex environmental matters and working with federal and state agencies and tribal nations on a variety of enforcement matters arising from violations of federal environmental statutes.
