Description
Introduces critical themes on queer Indigenous issues, guided by queer Indigenous history and cultural manifestations of queerness in Indigenous communities in the Americas. Drawing from colonial accounts, course focuses on exploring historical themes related to queer Indigenous relationship with their bodies and sexualities, queer Indigenous people navigating violence within colonial institutions, and the mechanisms to assimilate Indigenous gender and sexualities into the gender binary and heteronormativity. Second half of the course analyzes mechanisms of resistance to colonial violence, and the ways Indigenous communities and other communities of color understand queerness in the contemporary era in the Americas. Students develop critical thinking skills to analyze colonization and the imposition of heteronormativity on Indigenous genders and sexualities.
