Topics to be discussed include: (i) the post-1492 colonization of the “developing world,” (ii) the logic and knowledge/power that turn the natural environment, women, and other subordinated groups into exploitable materials, (iii) the potential of decolonial ecological knowledges and practices, (iv) the possibility of decolonial feminisms across difference, and (v) the conjuring of future decolonial, anti-capitalist modes of being human. Readings may include: Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, Vandana Shiva, Maria Lugones, Chandra Mohanty, Kyle Whyte, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. [AH, GE, PPRE]
