The (Im)possibility of (Re)Indigenization: Indigenous Futurities Beyond Settler Structures
Sat, August 8, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
Within Sociology, there have been significant contributions regarding settler colonialism as a structure of empire. Scholars such as Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Dwanna McKay (Mvskoke), Erich Steinman, Julian Go, Aileen Moreton-Robinson (Goenpul), Bonita Lawrence (Mi'kmaw), and Eve Tuck (Unangax̂) have stewarded the foundations of settler structures and colonial empire as well as the tangible actions of decolonization and (re)Indigenization. This session highlights scholarship that forwards these endeavors, emphasizing historical and ongoing settler projects. We additionally investigate the dream-making and challenges of (re)Indigenized futurities in this session, the liminalities of Indigenous identity formation within and beyond colonialism, and the promise of Indigenous sovereignties.
