WGS Research Seminar – Tina Campt (Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies & Director of the Africana Studies program, Barnard College)

D.G. Ivey Library 20 Willcocks Street, New College, Toronto, Canada

Diasporic Stasis and the Frequency of Black Refusal This talk takes what may seem a counter-intuitive proposition as its primary point of departure – that stasis is neither an absence nor a cessation of motion; it is a continual balancing of multiple forces.

Multiple, shifting definitions of indigeneity are co-constituted with diverse claims to biological and cultural patrimony. For half […]

WGS Research Seminar – Eve Tuck, OISE, Social Justice Education – Indigenous Feminist Theories of Change

JHB 100A, Jackman Humanities Building 170 St. George Street, Toronto, Canada

This talk attends to Native feminist theories of change. I see these as compelling theories of compelling change: they are authored by Indigenous feminists, they consider change and land materially, and they move within Indigenous understandings of power and place.  I offer them to contest the colonial theories of change which over-determine what counts as […]
