Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1296 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: Indigenous Peoples, Environments, and Justice. This seminar draws on voices and writings by contemporary Indigenous peoples across themes in environmental studies, settler colonialism, and movements for justice. Diverse Indigenous collectives challenge ongoing attempts by settler societies to eliminate, appropriate, and stereotype their ways of life. With a regional focus primarily in Native North America, this course seeks to understand varied ecological knowledge-practices by and for contemporary Indigenous peoples. We study contested conceptualizations of sovereignty, rights, recognition, land, justice, race, gender, and tradition through an environmental lens. Selected topics include climate change, Indigenous movements, decolonized environmental futures, and an introduction to Indigenous research methodologies.
