Roundtable: Indigenous Feminisms in History, Scholarship, and the Classroom
Powell, Summer
Powell, Summer
Abstract
This proposed roundtable seeks to generate a discussion regarding—in the words of Tk’emlúpsemc scholar Sarah Nickel—“the long roots of Indigenous feminism,” as well as the range of Indigenous feminist theories, practices, and expressions that inform our respective teaching and scholarship in the present. The roundtable emerges from a forthcoming special issue of Women and Social Movements in the United States focused on Indigenous women and gender history. As part of this special issue, an interdisciplinary group of Native and non-Native scholars and activists will analyze a single text, broadly defined, that they locate within one or more genealogies of Indigenous feminism. Intended first and foremost as a pedagogical resource, the special issue will provoke conversation and questions regarding the methods, parameters, evolution, and goals of Indigenous feminist thought and action across time and space. We envision this proposed roundtable as an opportunity to reflect on these themes and questions, while sharing strategies for bringing Indigenous feminist histories and theories into the classroom. Special issue co-editors Mary Klann and Brianna Theobald will chair the roundtable; discussants will include nine of the special issue’s contributors.
