Gender and Settler Colonialism

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

Prereq: 3 credits from FGST 3111, WGST 3111; or CANA 3301 and 3 credits from CANA at the 3000 level; or permission of the Program Director This course focuses on the gendered, racialized, and sexualized dimensions of settler colonialism and Indigenous resurgence. It begins with the recognition that all of our learning takes place on the lands of the Mi'kmaw and Wolastoqiyik peoples, and with the acknowledgement that we all have different and specific relationships to this land and these nations. Attending to these relationships and the responsibilities they entail, the central questions this course examines include: How do Indigenous thinkers conceptualize identity, land, and belonging? How do they think and talk about gender, sexuality, and difference? [Note 1: This course is cross-listed with CANA 4301 and may therefore count as 3 credits in either discipline](Format: Seminar 3 Hours) (Exclusions: WGST 4001 18/WI and 19/WI; WGST 4301)
