New Course on Aboriginal Women

WST 498:B3, Selected Topics on Aboriginal Women, has been added to the course schedule for Winter 2010. This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding historical and contemporary experiences of Aboriginal women. Through an exploration of community, race, gender, sexuality, identity, representation, and activism, this course examines the ways in which Aboriginal women have resisted and been shaped by colonialism and other racialized gendered practices. This course also considers the ways in which Indigenous knowledge shape alternative ways of conceptualizing and politicizing history, identity, place, self-determination, land rights, resources and well-being.
