Re-Creating and Reimagining Spaces for Indigenous Feminisms: Case Studies From Five Cultural Contexts

Tue, April 12, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon N

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Drawing from Indigenous education, critical race theory, and decolonial scholarship, our panel explores Indigenous feminisms as a conceptual strategy for work in diverse contexts. Five case studies will be discussed, elaborating the ways in which Indigenous feminisms can be supported, enacted, stretched, challenged and problematized to be inclusive of diverse communities and serve as public pedagogical acts to educate diverse democracies. Using auto-ethnography, critical reflexivity and other critical methods, each of the five papers introduces an ontological approach to conducting research and broadening participation of Indigenous feminist scholars in decolonizing ways towards self-determination in the academy.
