Course Description:
Indigenous Peoples around the world face similar threats, including cultural and linguistic discrimination, territorial dispossession, and environmental injustice. After introducing the concept of Indigeneity and its multiple dimensions, this class will focus on global issues affecting Indigenous Peoples and how they manifest locally. Students will work together to solve real world case studies. They will apply a comparative perspective to become familiar with Indigenous lifeworlds, understand the threats and difficulties Indigenous Peoples face, and craft possible solutions, while not losing sight of Indigenous Peoples' diversity.
