Engaging Indigenous Feminist Theory and Indigenous Queer Studies

This lecture shares findings from Marie Laing's forthcoming book, Urban Indigenous Youth Reframing Two-Spirit. Offering insights from young trans, queer and two-spirit people in Toronto who examine the breadth and depth of meanings that two-spirit holds, Laing's work challenges the practice of ascribing singular and homogenizing definitions to the term two-spirit, and simultaneously complicates the idea that audience members need to know what two-spirit means at all. Conversation with discussant Eve Tuck will explore implications of this work for research, education, and community settings.
