RESEARCH OBJECTIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cluster aims to document the experiences of militarization, forced removal, genocide, and the mass migration of indigenous people, creating new academic and community-based research while also making important comparative linkages to other Ethnic Studies sub-fields. Our objective is to think about native studies in relation to knowledge systems, settler logics and policies, and social contestations. Through book groups, meetings, presentations, graduate seminars, and dialogues between faculty and graduate students we develop a conceptual approach to legal recognition, racial violence, biopolitics and the way that colonialism casts its long shadow in modernity. Studying the dialectic between indigeneity and settler societies through grounded research and epistemological ruptures, we make links to the historical and contemporary oppressions of other communities of color.<\/p>\n

We methodologically use knowledge formations that begin to trace out the subjectivities, memories, and complexity of state sanctioned violence in the intimacies of the every day, especially in relation to indigenous bodies. We note and analyze how the assault on native bodies, particularly native women, has been integral to US Empire. We analyze and pursue the theories and practices of decolonization. We complicate tradition, representation, property, genealogy and blood ties. Finally, we think through how settler and gender normativities produce complex social and cultural dynamics in the US, in the Western Hemisphere, and beyond.<\/p>\n
