PHR 358 Critical Indigenous Theory

2023-2024 Catalog

This course explores the intellectual, historical, and political foundations of Indigenous theory, while foregrounding Indigenous experience, writing, activism, and other methodologies of expression. Indigenous Feminist and anti-colonial analyses attend to race, gender, sexuality, ecology, archo-indigenism, the nation state, political economy, and research methods among other topics. In addition, the course examines various ways that theory is generated within Indigenous communities in relation to Indigenous self-determination, sovereignty, and/or advocacy. The course unequivocally denaturalizes imperial violence and works to advocate for alternatives to the settler state.
