- Class Description:
- In this course, we rethink what constitutes ?girlhood? and ?resistance? through situated analyses of racialized and Indigenous/American Indian girls? activism in western settler states. First, we investigate what disrupting the white, able, middle-class, hetero-normative categories of ?girl? and ?girlhood? means for analyses of interlocking forms of violence, oppositional forms of justice, and decolonization. Second, we explore how girls? various engagements with justice, collectivity, creativity, love, learning, and land work to transgress and dismantle settler state logics. Studying the knowledge produced by racialized and Indigenous girls?including those who identify as Two Spirit, trans, gender non-conforming, queer?enables us to address the limited inter-disciplinarity among ?girls/girlhood studies? and Indigenous, queer, and race-radical feminisms, in order to attend to the paradoxical invisibility/hyper-visibility of girls living under settler state surveillance.
