Indigeneity

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

Examination of the legal and cultural construction of what it means to be Indigenous in historical and contemporary cross-cultural contexts. Taking as a starting point that indigeneity is simultaneously constructed globally and locally, the course will examine diverse themes, including the politics of Indigenous recognition; Indigenous cosmopolitics; indigenous social movements; and questions of performing indigeneity, "authenticity" and predicaments of Indigenous political, social, and economic empowerment.
