Summary

What is “settler time” and what does it mean to queer temporality? How might an expansion of who we include as family and kin help us to reimagine alternative ways of governance—beyond it taking the form of something outside and on top of, rooted in domination and control, and upholding the constructed boundaries between “the private” and “the public”?

Dr. Mark Rifkin is a professor of English and Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies at UNC Greensboro. He's served as president of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, and he's the author of seven books, including Beyond Settler Time and Speaking for the People: Native Writing and the Question of Political Form (Sept, 2021).

The musical offering in this episode is Change by Inanna.
