Actualizing Decolonization

Catalog description

Provides an in-depth investigation of the theory and concepts of colonization, decolonization, and Indigenous peoples in America, with brief comparisons with global Indigenous peoples and experiences. Covers classic scholarly works on colonization and decolonization to understand the frameworks in which colonization and decolonization develops, expands, and impacts Indigenous peoples. Through that theoretical understanding, examines and formulates ways in which decolonization can impact and be integrated into Indigenous lives and communities. Students shift from theory to praxis by writing and presenting on an informal grant proposal for a decolonizing project that can be implemented in an Indigenous or non-Indigenous community.
