The Department of Indigenous Studies (IDS) is offering the following courses, which may be of interest as free electives.
- IDS 360: Indigenous Digital Humanities - In this course, students will examine how specific applications of digital tools and technologies may reinforce colonial digital pedagogies and how Indigenous epistemological interventions are represented and included within a digital world. [Open to all.]
- IDS 314: Indigenous Sustainability - This course focuses on the topics of Indigenous conservation, food sovereignty, and economics while looking in-depth at water and land management, planning, renewable energy development, green building, wellness/healing, and education. [Prerequisite of one 100-level IDS course or by permission.]
- IDS 370: Language, Artificial Intelligence, and Relationality - During this class, we will find that artificial intelligence sets the stage for discourses about what intelligence and consciousness is; what does artificiality mean with respect to intelligence? These are questions which, traditionally, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Weltanschauung (worldviews) generate very different answers to. [Open to all.]
