IME 669 - Indigenous Education

Unit(s): 3

This course takes a historical and hemispheric approach to understanding the educational experiences of Native and Indigenous peoples against the legacies of colonialism and genocidal expressions of state formation across the political borders, with a specific focus on the U.S. This course utilizes an ethnic studies framework to explore and understand both the educational history, decolonial present and future possibilities. This course seeks to complicate and unravel the continuities and differences in Indigenous/Native expressions of resistance against the permanence of colonial relations in the current day, as it relates to education. Another central themes of the course is to explore shared solidarites between Indigenous and Native peoples and other communities of color. The readings from this course will draw from settler colonialism frameworks and compare and contrast specific cases of struggle across multiple educational and political boundaries.
