Proseminar in Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity: Core Methods

Undergraduate / Graduate

This second graduate proseminar section engages with new approaches to research in fields of race, diaspora and indigeneity, including archival speculation, art as argument and evidence, geography and environment as critical epistemologies, intermodal investigation (sovereignty and survivance, technology and mythologies, semantics and sensoria of both domination and resistance), communally responsible research, and the dialectics of trauma and futurism. The class will be a mix of survey, practice and consultation with partners, meant to bring students close to the methodological experiments RDI faculty and partners utilize in their work.
