“…The active effort to move away from this paradigm in academia is often referred to as "decolonizing the syllabi" but may more accurately be considered an "anti-colonial" effort. The process of decolonization is complex and multidimensional, and its definition varies both within and across disciplines and contexts (Goeman, 2008;Padayachee et al, 2018;Smith, 1999;Tuck & Yang, 2012). From a pedagogical viewpoint, decolonization efforts…”

From a pedagogical viewpoint, decolonization efforts are intended to decenter colonial knowledge (which erases and obfuscates Indigenous knowledge) and agitates colonizing ideologies (Allard‐Tremblay & Coburn, 2021) that shape curricular texts, assignments, and instruction (Absolon, 2019).…”

Diversifying curricula is of increasing interest in higher education, including in ecology and evolution and allied fields. Yet, many educators may not know where to start. Here we provide a framework for meeting standard curriculum goals while enacting anti‐racist and anti‐colonial syllabi that is grounded in the development of a sustainable network of educators. In addition to highlighting this professional learning process and sharing the list of resources our group has developed, we provide suggestions to help educators highlight contributions of minoritized groups, explore multiple ways of knowing, and perform critical assessments of foundational views of life and environmental science fields. We further discuss the key classroom dynamics that affect the success of such anti‐racist and anti‐colonial initiatives. The retention and success of minoritized students in ecology and evolution depends on whether we address injustices in our fields. Our hope is that our fellow educators will use this paper to catalyze their own efforts to diversify their courses.

“…Since land is a central site in the production of space and in how colonial conceptions of space are made productive, Native conceptions of space unsettle notions of territory, property, and the personification of land as feminine as natural instead of the outcomes of colonial spatializing technologies. These technologies-such as maps and colonial travel journals-manufactured and reinforced oppositional binary categories: Civilized/primitive; culture/nature; order/ chaos (Goeman, 2008a(Goeman, , 2008b. Native counter-colonial conceptions of land and spatial discourses provide historical geographies before colonialism as well as in the wake of the settler state, and which imagine futures outside of the colonized present (Estes, 2013;Simpson, 2014).…”

“…Abolitionist memory work is, therefore, understandable as a debordering commemorative praxis; a mode of historicization and commemoration that dismantles the colonial border lines that spatialize naturalized notions of spatial belonging through a regime of differentiated (racialized) citizenship and human value, as well as the domination of nature. A domination which, since rooted in a Cartesian model of subjectivity, understands the realm of nature as inclusive of nonhuman animals, as well as Natives and Blacks, who are deemed primitive (Goeman, 2008b). A debordering praxis makes annotations about how territory-body domination and extraction have been resisted and how those forms of domination/extraction and resistance are always connected to someplace, and someone else-it reclaims land physically and ideologically from colonial landscaping (Gilmore, 2017;Goeman, 2008a).…”

Black monument matters: Place‐based commemoration and abolitionist memory work

Discrete monuments remain in the domain of the symbolic, land as mnemonic shifts to a more materialist commemorative praxis. This paper proposes a turn toward land as mnemonic of Black freedom struggle and place‐making. Reviewing the scholarship on memoryscapes, I show that the critical insights of Black ecologies and geographies scholarship has moved further than traditional scholarship and offers multiple openings for new monuments and commemorative practices in honor of Black life. Black socio‐ecologies scholarship centralizes the place‐based epistemologies, spatial histories, and experiences of Black communities and clarifies the form and function of land or plots as mnemonics of the Black freedom struggle, place‐making practices, and spatial epistemologies. Black plots are, therefore, ideal for orienting a new mode of Black commemoration. While much of the paper centers monuments to Black people, if Black commemoration is foregrounded in abolitionists thinking and practices, such memorialization must grapple with the histories of Indigenous dispossession and settler‐colonialism. The paper concludes with a consideration of what the argument for land as mnemonic of Black freedom struggle and place‐making might mean for future avenues of research.

“…In these cases, the marketization of Indigenous social reproduction is not a new frontier of accumulation by dispossession but is a next mutation of primitive accumulation that secures and sustains the conditions that enable capitalism to flourish (Meehan and Strauss, 2015). In the first part of the paper, we explore the duality of Indigenous social reproduction as a site of primitive accumulation and as a site of land-based relations (Bhattacharya, 2017;Goeman, 2008Goeman, , 2017Hall, 2016;Hill, 2017;Simpson, 2011). We do this in part to push back against the temporality inherent in referencing social reproduction as a "new frontier" for accumulation (Meehan and Strauss, 2015).…”

Land, land banks and land back: Accounting, social reproduction and Indigenous resurgence

2021

This paper situates Indigenous social reproduction as a duality; as both a site of primitive accumulation and as a critical, resurgent, land-based practice. Drawing on three distinct cases from British Columbia, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand and Bua, Fiji, we illustrate how accounting techniques can be a key mechanism with which Indigenous modes of life are brought to the market and are often foundational to the establishment of markets. We argue that accounting practices operate at the vanguard of primitive accumulation by extracting once invaluable outsides (e.g. Indigenous land and bodies) and rendering these either valuable or valueless for the social reproduction of settler society. The commodification of Indigenous social reproduction sustains the conditions that enable capitalism to flourish through primitive accumulation. However, we privilege Indigenous agency, resistance and resurgence in our analysis to illustrate that these techniques of commodification through accounting are not inevitable. They are resisted or wielded towards Indigenous alternatives at every point.
