The Mode of Delivery has Changed for the Following Course: INDI-2713-WDE: Critical Approaches to Health and Well-Being is now offered on zoom for Winter 2026
Time: Thursdays, 11:30 am to 2:30pm (Eastern Time/ Thunder Bay)
Instructor: Dr. Andrew Judge
Course Description: In much of the western world, biomedicine has emerged as the dominant, or officially, legitimized health-care system. In the process, Indigenous ways of providing for the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples have been not only marginalized but devalued and undermined, leading some scholars to conclude that biomedicine has become part and parcel of the "pathologizing colonial discourse" of the western world. Topics of discussion include diagnosis and treatment of disease, access to health-care providers, language and the transmission of information, knowledge hierarchies, and the ethnocentric basis of western science.

Course Description: At the confluence of creativity and advocacy, Indigenous artivism envisions equality and land ethics. The main objective of this course is to suggest links between Indigenous peoples from Turtle Island (North America), and Abiayala (Latin America) through contemporary Indigenous artivist embroidery, muralism, hip-hop lyrics, performance, video and oraliture. Some of the readings and videos will be in translation from Spanish and Native Languages. Interviews with the authors/artists and communities will enrich the discussions about personal experiences and specific local issues. This course may be interesting to the programs of Indigenous Learning, English, Languages and Literatures, American Studies, International Relations, Visual Arts, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, among others.
