    NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS MUSIC SEMINAR (57-826) Class Meetings: Mondays and Wednesdays,10:30am-11:50am Room M157, CFA Instructor: Dr. Alexa Woloshyn (Call me Dr. Woloshyn or Prof. Woloshyn) Office: Room 160B, CFA Office Hours: Mondays/Wednesdays 3-5pm, or by appointment Telephone: 412-268-5451 Email: [email protected] Course Description: This course examines diverse Indigenous musical practices in North America, including powwow, round dance, intertribal flute music, and Inuit vocal games. We highlight the heterogeneity of Indigenous musical cultures both within specific practices and through the frequent engagement with non-Indigenous musical genres, such as the symphony, ballet, string quartet, and dubstep. This course pursues the understanding of diverse Indigenous musical practices through the lens of historical, socio-cultural Indigenous issues, such as cultural genocide and residential schools, sovereignty, identity, and decolonization. North American Indigenous Music Seminar challenges us as musicians and global citizens to engage with issues and musical practices not typically addressed in music studies. The diverse musical practices of Indigenous peoples in North America are an important cultural legacy, and this course equips us to examine a wide range of musical practices and issues. The course also requires us to build on critical listening and music analysis skills through application to both new (e.g., powwow) and familiar genres (e.g., symphony). This course will reinforce how music reflects and responds to the socio-cultural

  • SSHRC and the Conscientious Community: Reflecting and Acting on Indigenous Research and Reconciliation in Response to TRC Call to Action 65
    SSHRC think piece Franks October 2016 SSHRC and the Conscientious Community: reflecting and acting on Indigenous research and reconciliation in response to TRC Call to Action 65 Dr. Aaron Franks Mitacs-SSHRC Visiting Fellow in Indigenous Research and Reconciliation 1. Introduction The task of this short paper is to provide an informed, independent and critical perspective on the role of social sciences and humanities research in “advanc[ing] understanding of reconciliation” in Canada (TRC Call 65, 2015). Particular attention is given to the role of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) in shaping the discourse of reconciliation, and in supporting a research milieu and funding initiatives that reflect this vision. This paper is not a systematic review of existing initiatives, and certainly not a policy paper, official or otherwise. We are calling it a ‘think piece’, intended to push the edges of accepted thinking outward a bit, and I feel both privileged and daunted by the opportunity. While the paper was originally conceived by conference organizers to address “The Role of Research and Research Brokers in Reconciliation”, the focus has shifted to addressing the role of the social sciences and humanities in advancing understanding of reconciliation. 1.1. Paper outline The think-piece unfolds like this. You should know a bit about me, my positionality, and my relationship to SSHRC. And then how an ethic of decolonization frames my observations, deductions, my intuitions about practical action. In a short Section Two I name some of the contradictions we need to face to do this work, and then in Section Three I share a snapshot from the public discussion of reconciliation, in this case from a radio news program, and reflect on how the social sciences and humanities (with an admitted bias to the qualitative) can challenge, take apart and reconnect these discussions in important ways.

  • Of This Land, on This Land: Indigenous Artists Challenging the Racial Logics of Liberal Modernity Suzanne Morrissette a Disserta
    OF THIS LAND, ON THIS LAND: INDIGENOUS ARTISTS CHALLENGING THE RACIAL LOGICS OF LIBERAL MODERNITY SUZANNE MORRISSETTE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL THOUGHT YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2017 © Suzanne Morrissette, 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the role of Indigenous artists in illustrating and denaturalizing the systems of colonial thought that continue to constrain Indigenous peoples’ expressions of political agency. I argue that the works of select contemporary Indigenous artists challenge contemporary liberal settler society’s racial ideas of citizenship, belonging, and relationship to place through methods that involve diverse audiences in imagining more just and shared futures upon Indigenous lands. My examination of tendencies to frame Indigenous political expression as aggressive, anti-state, or anti-progress looks to literature on liberal thought, which describes concepts of freedom and equality manifested in the development of the social contract that has determined citizenship. I look at the ways that these concepts have been deployed historically to determine the value of Indigenous subjectivity and the supremacy of settler nations and institutions. In this sense, the artworks that I highlight engage critically with liberal thought, and also express Indigenous political thought in their own right. The analysis takes place in three parts: an examination of the history of ideas surrounding perceptions of Indigenous political presence; an investigation into the legacies of liberal thought now threatened by assertions of Indigenous political presence; and a study of the ways in which Indigenous people are misconstrued as violent even as they are the continued subjects of ongoing colonial violence.
