Indigenist Thought

A survey of key theories in Indigenist thought from 1969 onwards. Students acquire an understanding of Indigenist theories as a unique body of scholarship that serves Indigenous communities’ interests. Students will be introduced to values, principles, and frameworks underpinning Indigenist theories, including concepts such as refusal, survivance, resurgence, gender fluidity, and nation-specific notions of decolonization, among others. This course is not an objectifying survey of Indigenous peoples; rather, it offers a view of the world through critical Indigenous lenses.
