		This course introduces key questions, frameworks, and methodologies of American Studies through a study of indigenous sovereignty movements in North America. With a focus on contemporary issues, this course will examine experiences of survival, resistance, and resilience in North American indigenous communities. We will analyze current discourses and practices of sovereignty in relation to land, citizenship, ecology, economic development, justice, and politics of gender and race. This analysis will also consider how indigenous communities in North America engage with indigenous movements globally under contemporary structures of international and transnational politics. Utilizing historical events, legal cases, and social movements of significance to contemporary politics of indigeneity and sovereignty, the course will critically examine how diverse forms of oppression, resistance, and transformation shape the struggles for self-governance.

		How does one sustain a life in the arts? How do artistic, curatorial, philanthropic, academic, and community practices relate to one another and to the organizational structures that support them? How is success defined? Where are the points of entry, and who are the gatekeepers? What is the role of place? Designed for practicing and aspiring artists, arts administrators, curators, cultural critics, and advocates, we employ ecological frameworks to consider the evolution of existing arts infrastructures and our place in their futures. Through readings, group discussions, off-campus engagement with industry practitioners, place-based research, and culminating project proposals, we imagine holistic and innovative approaches to sustained arts engagement that respond to social, cultural, and economic realities.
