Mapping Racial Justice

Catalog description

How do communities map their territories for racial justice? How are maps used as tools of oppression or liberation? What cartographic methods can we use to tell our stories? Focusing on Indigenous geographies in relation to other racialized communities experiencing dispossession, racism, and migration, themes covered in this course will include decolonization, Indigenous futurisms, feminisms, climate justice, and global surveillance. Students will engage with digital and analog spatial projects for racial justice and use digital tools to create maps, tell stories, and annotate archives.
