Gender and/in Indigenous Ways of Living and Knowing
Invitation to a Conference and PhD course in Tromsø, Norway,
30 September – 2 October 2009
It is with pleasure we invite students, researchers and everyone else interested to participate in a research conference on gender and indigeneity. The overall objective of the conference is to bridge current gaps of understanding in the field of gender and indigeneity. Speakers come from a variety of academic fields across the social sciences and humanities, as well as from civil society. In recognition of how academic work itself is part of the overall colonial dynamic, the conference will also address the topic of indigenous versus academic ways of knowing.
The conference language is English.
Deadlines:
