THIS SEMINAR EXPLORES THE INTERSECTIONS OF QUEER AND INDIGENOUS STUDIES, ENGAGING WITH CRITICAL TEXTS THAT INTERROGATE IDENTITY, SOVEREIGNTY, SETTLER COLONIALISM, AND DECOLONIZATION.

STUDENTS WILL REFINE THEIR ANALYTICAL SKILLS THROUGH CLOSE READING, DISCUSSION CO- LEADERSHIP, PEER EVALUATION, GROUP CONVERSATIONS, AND REFLECTIVE WRITING.
