Indigenous Feminisms ((3))

Catalog description

This course analyzes the contemporary experiences of Indigenous women from a hemispheric approach from the 1960s forward. From Indigenous-based frameworks, this course examines how Indigenous women engage with multiple strands of feminisms, such as community-based feminisms and decolonial feminisms, from their own voices and perspectives. Through this course, students will explore the strategies utilized by Indigenous women for representation and in socio-political activism. This course provides students with a theoretical lens to understand and analyze race, racism, gender, representation, identity, culture, gendered colonization, settler states, and decolonization from Indigenous-based approaches.
