cholars in Residence Talk:
Wayne Wapeemukwa: “Partisans o
f the Soil: Racial Capitalism and Métis Dispossession”<
/p>
- Until very recently, almost all literature about Méti
s was written by outsiders who centered racial whiteness and presumed th
e rise of the Canadian state, church, and industry as inevitable. Agains
t that tendency, I dually wield Métis philosophy, and a fresh int
erpretation of Marxism, to show how these missed opportunities narrowly
reduce intersectional Métis identity during the "Scrip-Era&q
uot; of settler-Métis relations (1870–1920). My study sits
at a convergence of Métis ethnohistory, political philosophy, and
Critical Race Theory, with an eye to how "half-breed scrip" m
obilized colonially-modern discourses like scientific racism, Victorian
patriarchy, and British civility in order to dispossess Métis and
turn the plains into private property.
Laurie Dubois: &l
dquo;Powers of Fiction: Scholastic Novels and Forgotten Women in Third R
epublic France (1870–1914)”
- This proj
ect explores a large corpus of about twenty French scholastic novels nev
er before studied from a literary perspective. The Scholastic novel is a
primarily woman-led literary genre that appeared in the second half of
the nineteenth century that has now fallen into disuse. These publicatio
ns were innovative hybrid texts that combined recreational appeal and pe
dagogical function, weaving together narrative and didactic occurrences.
This genre reached peak popularity during Third Republic and
;focused on both transmitting knowledge and instilling values, aligned w
ith the new national curriculum. Grounded in feminist theories, narratol
ogy, literary analysis, Laurie argues that the lessons disseminated by e
ach book were in fact not all “aligned” and vary greatly dep
ending on the author as they used fiction as a vehicle for political and
ideological explorations.
Ismael Quiñones: &ldquo

<
li>“Where are you from?” Whenever I speak, I get this questi
on. The politics of our moment, with the escalation of human induced cli
mate change, demand an answer for the cultivation of life. Aiming to rei
magine political life beyond the delusions of modernity, this talk focus
es on the problems facing the rhetorical possibilities for pluriversal f
utures. Colonialism, as a present structure rather than a past, is the p
olitical project for the exhaustion of life. By reflecting on my own sto
ry of migration, the histories of Spanish friars, and the traces of resi

Christopher Thr

quo;
- How did the Muscogee Confederacy’s responses
to illegal expansion by Georgians in the 1780s more clearly define Musco
gee sovereignty and reshape the U.S. politically? This question rests at
the center of a chapter draft for a larger dissertation project. &ldquo
