50435 - Indigenous, Decolonial, and Transnational Thought: A Conversation

Description

This panel brings together Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational scholars whose work challenges dominant epistemologies and power structures while imagining more just and livable futures. In a moment marked by intensifying settler colonial violence, including genocide, environmental devastation, and intensifying authoritarianism, these conversations foreground alternative modes of knowledge, sovereignty, and solidarity.

The panel is structured as a dialogue that explores the intersections, tensions, and resonances across Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational intellectual and political traditions. Panelists will consider how these approaches illuminate struggles over land, bodies, and governance, and how they generate transformative visions for our current moment.
