How is settler colonialism - the process of (violently) displacing Native populations and claiming land by a colonizing population - related to gender and sexuality? And how does it connect to, and differ from, other forms of coloniality and postcolonialism? This course will examine recent writings in Native feminism and settler-colonial studies, in conjunction with social movements' engagement (or lack thereof) with indigenous and gender justice and decolonization.

New England is a heavily forested region providing tremendous public benefits. The majority of these forests are owned by families. This course will explore the critical role family forest owners play in conservation. The class will be part of a regional class also being offered at the Universities of Maine and Vermont. Each week our class will meet with students from all three universities using web technology, hear from a speaker, and have a New England wide discussion.
