This course interrogates the challenges that Native peoples face from ongoing settler colonialism within what is now the United States, without ever losing sight of Native agency and persistence. This course will center Indigenous feminist scholarship and look at Indigeneity transnationally by incorporating Central American scholarship and research. Class meetings will be held at the Ohio Reformatory for Women In Marysville as part of the Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP). Note: course availability will be limited to 7 students.
