Abstract: This article examines how three nineteenth- and twentieth-century philanthropic organizations– the British Aborigines’ Protection Society (APS), the American Indian Rights Association (IRA), and the Australian Association for the Protection of Native Races (APNR)functioned simultaneously as opponents of colonial violence as well as instruments of colonial governance. These groups were vociferous advocates for Indigenous rights […]

Abstract: We develop a theoretical foundation for understanding the social drivers of biodiversity loss through an analysis of the pollination crisis. Together, settler colonialism and capitalism have disrupted the relationship between insect pollinators and the flowering plants that they pollinate on a global scale, what we call the ‘Anthophilic rift.’ Settler colonialism reshapes ecologies while […]

Descriptoion: Indigenous healing is a paradox in the liberal settler colony where efforts to foster well-being can simultaneously undermine distinct Indigenous societies. This book examines the prominence of “Indigenous healing” in Canadian public discourse through a historical and ethnographic lens. It focuses on late twentieth-century Indigenous social histories in Treaty 3 territory and cities in […]

Description: Making Muskoka traces the evolution of the region from 1870 to 1920. Over this period, this rocky section of Ontario underwent a profound transition from Indigenous homelands to a settler community and a part-time playground for nature tourists and wealthy cottagers. But what were the consequences for those who lived there year-round? As the late […]

Abstract: This essay interrogates settler scholar positionality in relation to equity and collaborative commitment within higher education reform, arguing that meaningful decolonization requires reflexive, ethically grounded partnerships with Indigenous communities. Drawing on frameworks such as Two-Eyed Seeing, Movement-based Participatory Action Research, and transformative leadership, the paper situates settler scholars within colonial legacies that shape knowledge […]

The book provides students and researchers with critical frameworks for analysing how colonial power relations shape contemporary injustices […]

Excerpt: Le colonialisme est souvent appréhendé comme la logique homogène et a-temporelle d’un système politique qui a pour objectif l’exploitation économique d’un territoire et de sa population autochtone par une métropole. Le paradigme du colonialisme de peuplement propose lui d’isoler une forme spécifique de colonialisme, à savoir l’expulsion et le remplacement de la population autochtone par […]

Abstract: Canadian parks and protected areas, spaces discursively considered external to human influence and social structures, are often tethered to unjust settler-colonial legacies and power imbalances that unevenly support and structure movement. This is especially problematic for several youth summer camps who, year after year, lead thousands of campers through these “wild and untouched” spaces. […]

Abstract: In this chapter, we offer our reflections on navigating grief and loss within our research about reproductive (in)justice(s) with Indigenous Peoples. We start by introducing ourselves and our relationships to this work. We share our reflections about grief and loss, and how settler-colonialism and other intersecting forms of structural violence are implicated in loss […]

Abstract: This article introduces the concept of “speculative expropriation” to reframe Marx’s analysis of expropriation in the context of settler colonialism and capitalism in the West. I begin by examining Marx’s ideas of primitive accumulation and original expropriation, showing how his incomplete analysis of social relations to land can be extended to the transAtlantic context.
