Many individual and social ills are attributed to alumni experiences within the boarding/residential schools, as well as their legacies among descendant generations. Recent research on epigenetic transmission of the impacts of trauma raise critical questions. Why are boarding schools, in Brenda Child’s term, such a powerful metaphor for colonial genocide? What are the implications of that powerful freight of meaning in understanding historical trauma? Why are different terms and concepts being applied to different people, for example, “historical trauma” for the Indigenous and “battle fatigue” for African Americans in the U.S.? What claims does epigenetic research make, and what claims can it support? What are the consequences of the current rush to embrace the assumptions of epigenetic research?\nUCLA is a tobacco-free campus. All-day parking ($12) and short-term parking (payable at pay stations) are available in Lots 2, 3 and 4 (enter the campus at Hilgard and Westholme avenues).\n
