NAIS 61 Indigenous Guardians: Protecting our Planet

In this course, we will explore key anthropological concepts through contemporary settings which demonstrate the worth of Indigenous thinking and anthropology in creating solutions that respond to urgent contemporary issues such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, industrial exploitation and pollution, and increased infectious disease. Through a range of lectures, discussions, reading materials and other resources, this course will expose students to growing local and Indigenous anthropologies.
