Indigenous Politics Virtual Mini-Conference: Settler Colonialism, Indigenous Politics, and Political Science: Critical Histories and New Directions

Session Submission Type: Virtual Roundtable

Part of Mini-Conference

• Indigenous Politics Virtual Mini-Conference

Session Description

The Mini-Conference opens with a roundtable to discuss the discipline’s recent and future engagement with settler colonial and Indigenous studies. It is designed to cultivate disciplinary pluralism by bringing together scholars from across subfields, methodological and epistemological traditions, and with varying regional expertise to address areas that have long been underrepresented in political science. After recent critical accounts of disciplinary neglect and erasure, and amid a broader interdisciplinary surge of interest in settler colonialism and Indigeneity, what developments have there been in different sectors of political science?
