Towards an Indigenous Cultural Studies
This
Speaker Series will explore the actual and potential relationship between the
(inter)discipline of cultural studies and indigenous people. Cultural studies in Australia and
Aotearoa/New Zealand have been sensitive to issues of indigeneity, but this has
not generally been the case in the U.S., where hybridity, transnationalism, and
diaspora have more often captured scholars’ imagination. Presenters will consider how cultural
studies engages or should engage with the native peoples of Hawai`i and
indigenous peoples in Asia, Oceania, and beyond.
