Settler Colonialism and Pedagogies of Liberation

Keywords: Settler colonialism, pedagogies of liberation, land-based teaching, displacement, border and cultural studies, occupation/theft (privatization, containment, dispossession), decolonizing approaches to learning, principles of responsibility. The questions in this series are anchored in the pedagogical approach to teach/learn beyond the binary, as part of Dr. Clelia O. Rodriguez’s commitment to dignify community-based ancestral knowledge to recuperate sustainable ways of living. Students/participants will be encouraged to make connections between local, everyday practices and wider historical contexts and critically analyze settler colonialism across Turtle Island (Canada/US) and other settler colonial contexts, such as Aoteroa/New Zealand, Palestine/Israel, South Americas and South Africa.
