On September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This interdisciplinary seminar takes its framework from the Declaration, exploring relevant issues each week with historical and contemporary examples. Students will play an active role in selecting readings and leading class discussion. No prior knowledge is required but initiative, critical thinking, and hard work are essential.
Open to Seniors, Juniors & Sophomores only.
