Decolonizing Place: A Conversation with Eve Tuck Livestream

Drawing on her influential article “Decolonization is Not a Metaphor” (2012) co-authored with K. Wayne Yang, and her current book series, “Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education: Mapping the Long View”, co-edited by Linda Tuhiwai Smith and K. Wayne Yang (2019), Eve Tuck will share about her latest work on decolonization in relationship to land education and Indigenous knowledge production. We will explore the major applications of her work that spans critical land studies, geography, Indigenous feminist thought and participatory research. Discussants will then join Tuck for lively conversations on decolonizing place from the perspectives of Indigenous knowledges, the African American colonial period, and land education.
