Indigeneity, Caste, and Race
Parsons School of Design: School of Design Strategies
CRN: 17412
Credits: 3
This course will cover ways of knowing, being, and doing that emerge from critical reflection on three global concepts: indigeneity, race, and caste. The goal of this course is to introduce students to epistemologies, ontologies, and practices located in the work of Indigenous, transnational Black and anticaste scholars, artists, and practitioners with an eye toward thinking across these domains and translating their findings into protocols for design. Taking an explicitly transnational approach to questions of epistemology, ontology, and practice, we will engage: Indigenous protocols for approaching relations, anticaste imaginaries of a good life, and Afrofuturist and fugitive spaces for working through and with histories of the present.
