ARTH 613 Indigenous Art and Art History: Indigenous Feminisms

• Mondays, 2:15 - 5:15 pm 
• Instructor: Dr. Michelle McGeough

Recently, we have witnessed a growing body of scholarship as Native American feminist scholars and their accomplices have focused on exposing the connections between settler colonialism and heteropatriarchy. In particular, they have examined the ways in which colonialism has transformed and altered all Indigenous structures including gender relations as well as the status and power of Indigenous women. In this seminar we will explore the ways Indigenous scholars posit Indigenous feminisms as being based on the revitalization of Indigenous institutions and practices, while also examining the possibilities this has opened up in terms of decolonization.
