The purpose of this seminar is to read some of the most recent work to address methods and methodology, including books and articles by Chad Allen, Kim TallBear, Maggie Walter, Philip Deloria, Glen Coulthard, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Audra Simpson, and Jean O’Brien. An alternative Indigenous tradition of Indigenous anti-method will also be considered through the work of Vine Deloria and others.
