EIHS Workshop: Rethinking Gender, Sexuality, and Colonialism
Rachael Barrett, Augusto Espinoza, Irene Mora, Sueann Caulfield (moderator)
For decades, historians of gender and sexuality have produced rich scholarship that analyzes how sex, sexuality, and gender are inextricably interconnected with social, political and ideological power structures. Yet, in what seems unintentional, the voices, memories and experiences of many indigenous actors who do not fit the accepted gender categories in these histories are silenced. In this panel, graduate students consider ways scholars can broaden the meaning of “gender and sexuality relations” to include the many forms of relationships involving colonial powers operating in and among indigenous peoples and communities around the globe.
