HIS 330 - Decolonization and the Repertoire of Refusal

3
This course will use the framework of Reserved, Removal, Refusal, and Remain to examine the history of Yakama Peoples as it relates to advocacy and health. We will start and end on the Yakama Reservation and will trace historical and contemporary acts of refusal as demonstrated through language, relationships, and memory. Students will use the lenses of place and decolonization to analyze the historical rhythms of communal advocacy. Together, we will look at power dynamics and structures of power by looking at primary and secondary sources and put them in conversation with acts of refusal and activism throughout the 20th century. The class will be held both on and off the Heritage campus, meeting in various locations in the region. And because the course centers rhythms and decolonization, we will host local guest speakers, including artists and cultural knowledge bearers. Prerequisite(s): None Co-requisite(s): None Cross-listed as No
