Indigenous Futures: Knowledge, Ecology and Politics
Affiliation
The course will examine the way these issues are shaped in conversation with the global flow of people, capital, and ideas. Where possible, the course will also invite (via video feed) academic experts, advocates for indigenous peoples' rights, and indigenous voices from a range of positions, to answer student's queries about pertinent political and social issues. These engagements will help inform, question, challenge, educate, and engage students in their own course work.
Student Learning Experience Information
The course will be delivered through a weekly two-hour class. The first hour will be a lecture that focuses on the key theme for the week (sometimes involving visitors speakers) and the second hour will be student-led seminar that will engage with the readings assigned in conversation with case studies pertinent to the theme.
