We invite you to register for the first talk of the Pushing the Boundaries of Qualitative Inquiry virtual speaker series, "Indigenous Geography: Mapping and Imagining Landscapes" by Dr. Mishuana Goeman. The iiQM is very pleased to co-sponsor this talk with the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. Kris Cromwell (Lecturer and PhD Student, Faculty of Native Studies) will host and moderate.
Dr. Goeman's talk will be an introspection examining mapping methods as they intersect with visual and geographic concepts. How do we make maps that do not replicate settler sites/sights and ways of knowing? How do artists unsettle the visual terrains? What are some meaningful approaches we might begin to take to undo the structures built around settler priorities that materialize in space? Rather than refuse geography outright, how might we use these critical tools in relation to tools in Critical Indigenous Studies to strengthen our anti-colonial practices?
