Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

This course provides a variety of Indigenous perspectives, priorities and complications with respect to resource, land and water management. We begin with an introduction to diverse Indigenous worldviews, values and principles, especially as they relate to the lands and waters of Indigenous nations. We will then seek to understand the complexities of resource management within the contexts of settler colonialism and neoliberal capitalism. Students will gain some insight into these complex issues with an emphasis on Indigenous self-determination. This course will include an examination of several case studies, primarily from British Columbia. Students will critically analyze contemporary resource issues from anti-colonial/reconciliation-informed perspectives.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
