Seminar in American Studies; Colonial Theory
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, Aud
This course undertakes an examination of the foundations, debates, and contours of settler colonial theory as well as the challenges to it from a variety of fields, viewpoints, and engagements. Through reading theorists who have come to define the field, many of whom are not Indigenous, as well as Indigenous scholars' responses to and uses of these theoretical interventions, we will examine the utility of the theory for decolonial struggle.
