Abstract: Indigenous peoples in Peru have experienced significant disparities in health and social well-being due to ongoing settler colonialism. Despite significant progress in maternal and neonatal health, regional disparities persist. In response to these challenges, the *Mamás de la Frontera* (Mothers of the Border) program was developed in collaboration with Indigenous communities in the Peruvian […]

Description: Who has the right to represent Native history? The past several decades have seen a massive shift in debates over who owns and has the right to tell Native American history and stories. For centuries, non-Native actors have collected, stolen, sequestered, and gained value from Native stories and documents, human remains, and sacred objects. […]

Abstract: This paper explores two competing liberal Zionist discourses which attempt to justify the Zionist project by invoking a unique relationship between settlers and the land. First, we examine how despite its enactment of environmental harm and ecological apartheid, contemporary Zionist discourse frames the Israeli state as a global leader in environmentalism, positing the Zionist […]

Description: This book explores the relationship between climate change, reproductive justice, and the prosperity of families, communities, and economies. Bringing together critical analyses of historical white feminism, classical economics, and corporate success models, it argues that the consequences of climate change render traditional approaches to prosperity ineffective and irrelevant in modern times. Climate change does […]

Abstract: Land education, as both theory and pedagogy, works to unsettle the colonial dynamics that continue to pervade both land relations and learning environments. In this article, I turn to the geographies of Palestine to engage in a critical reading of two prominent landscape types in the region—pine forests and olive groves—with the goal of […]

This article contends that historians should prioritize decolonizing the field through putting Indigenous peoples’ experiences and ways of thinking at the center of their analyses rather than […]

Abstract: This article offers an ideological critique of Slavoj Žižek’s recent interventions on the Gaza genocide, beginning with his October 2023 Project Syndicate article. It argues that by appropriating the post-Oslo liberal-Zionist position he once criticized, Žižek forecloses the real antagonism – necro-imperialist Zionist settler colonialism – and recodes it as a tragedy of mutual victimhood within […]

Abstract: This study looks at recent city council debates over introducing Indigenous seats in Canadian and New Zealand municipalities, asking whether debate is respectful and focused on relevant issues, and agreements are decisive and consequential. Despite very different national contexts and local government systems, overall we find similar arguments across the two countries. And while […]

Abstract: On 14 October 2023, Australians voted down a referendum proposal that would have acknowledged the place of Indigenous Peoples as First Peoples in the Australian Constitution, and which would have provided Indigenous Peoples with a “Voice” to the Australian Parliament. While some commentators chose to label the defeat as proof of Australia’s inherent racism, […]

Abstract: Women and gender nonconforming people living in Saskatchewan, Canada, face staggeringly high rates of gender-based violence (GBV). These rates are disproportionately experienced by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit or gender-queer individuals, and can be attributed to both historical and ongoing settler colonial practices. This article provides a structural analysis linking GBV against women and […]
