A part-time academic is required to teach INTD 3024.03, Global Indigenous Solidarity, Resistance and Development, in the winter term of the 2023-24 academic year, January 1 to April 30, 2024 (Winter term). The part-time academic is responsible for all aspects of teaching, grading and administration of the class, including the required tutorials. In addition, the part-time academic is to be available for two hours per week outside of class time for student consultation. The part-time academic reports to the Chair of the IDS Department.

Global Indigenous Solidarity, Resistance and Development explores the past, present and future of international Indigenous solidarities between Indigenous nations across the globe and the ways in which international Indigenous networks have intertwined with non-Indigenous networks for centuries. Starting with where they are in place, in Mi’kma’ki, students will learn about contemporary Indigenous-led global movements, such as the fight against gendered violence, climate activism, land defence, food sovereignty and the development of UNDRIP, through a lens that recognises that Indigenous sovereignty sits at the core of each of these movements. This course will also explore how Indigenous sovereignty recognition could serve as an alternative means of managing some of the biggest issues facing humanity today.

The expectation is this course will be delivered in-person (Mondays: 8:30-11:30).
