PHR 358 Critical Indigenous Theory

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.
