2019 - 2020: Indigeneity, Diasporas, and Empire

Lydia Heberling and Sebastián López Vergara were selected as the 2019-2020 CLIP Fellows. Their course series, Unsettling Knowledges: Trans-Oceanic and Hemispheric Indigenous Studies explores the diverse critical theories, histories, and activisms generated by Indigenous peoples across periods, geographies, disciplines, and methods. The classes understand indigeneity as an analytic that counters colonial forms of world making. Contesting disciplinary boundaries, this course series centers Indigenous pedagogies and ethics that prioritize relations among seemingly distinct areas and peoples as the result of transit and migrations; reciprocities between humans, non-humans, lands, and waters; as well as an understanding of the collective, related, and differential experiences of dispossession, relocation, and resistance of Indigenous, Black, Asian, and mestizo populations.
