Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
This paper looks at Indigenous epistemological formations of sustainability as one of the most pressing issues for Indigenous peoples particularly in the Pacific, and also as a concept where Indigenous peoples can be prominent in influencing discourses. Over the course of the semester, students will explore Indigenous environmental ethics and approaches to sustainability in a range of local, regional and international sites, with the geographic focus of the paper primarily on Aotearoa, the Pacific region and North America.
