This spring Laura Furlan and her graduate students from English 792N (Native American Autobiography and the Archive) co-edited and produced the latest issue of Dawnland Voices 2.0, an online journal of Indigenous writing from New England and the Northeast. Issue 6, guest-edited by the students in the course, is focused specifically on autobiography. In teams, students read, accepted, and edited the submissions; wrote the introduction to the issue; and produced the issue on WordPress. The journal is a continuation of the print version, Dawnland Voices, published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2014 and edited by Siobhan Senier, professor at the University of New Hampshire, in collaboration with a number of tribal historians, who sought to compile lesser-known work by Native writers in the region. The graduate students involved in the project included Brie Adams, Ashley Canter, Marcie Gallo O’Connell, Eean Grimshaw, Maria Ishikawa, Mikala Jones, Elena Kalodner-Martin, Jeremy Levine, CJ Martin, Zachary Smith, Heather Thein, and Zoe Tuck. Furlan is a faculty member in the English department at UMass.
