Description
This course answers the call for sociology to end its "complicity in the elimination of the native." It explores how settler-colonial frameworks inform the experience of Indigenous peoples. Sociology is examined as an extension of settler-colonial logics and power structures. The scholarship of Indigenous academics is the focus of the course, as students systematically examine major theories of racism. Contemporary issues covered in the course are defined as those elements of modernity which intersect in the lives, traditions, and future of Indigenous peoples (e.g., politics, media).
