The Global Indigeneity workshop takes its cue from David Chang’s work which challenges a narrative of discovery through accounts of how non-European generated their own global geographies. Indigenous studies generally emphasize a need to understand indigeneity and, indigenous peoples from their own perspectives. However, this approach tends to limit indigenous worlds to themselves, overlooking how indigenous peoples looked outward to establish their own understandings of the world and other peoples. Join our Eisenberg presenters as they grapple with the epistemic traditions of indigenous peoples to “understand the world from their perspective.”
