Inquiry and Knowledge as Social Justice: Indigenous and Decolonizing Frameworks
Description
American studies offers reflexive and critical analysis of the world around us, particularly in a broadly defined context of "America." This Indigenous studies course focuses on decolonizing knowledge, knowledge production, and unsettling the dominant structures that define research, process, and outcomes. Employing Indigneous-queer frameworks, this course develops students' understanding and application of research as a critical, Indigenous, and anti-oppressive undertaking accessible to a range of interdisciplinary inquiry. Recommended background: AM/AN 222. Only open to juniors and seniors.
