This course considers the ways in which colonial power is produced, built, managed, and perpetuated through state and industry infrastructures. In North America, where colonialism is enacted through settlement and continued occupation of Indigenous lands, landscapes continue to be transformed to serve the interests of the settler state. This course moves through multiple infrastructures, for example, railways, highways, dams, pipelines, and explores how Indigenous people continue to re-assert sovereignty on Indigenous lands.
