Class Notes: In this course, students will explore the concept of decolonial love and its refusals. In this course, we explore how intimacies and relational attachments -- nationalist, familial, romantic, and community ’ can sometimes serve to perpetuate colonial structures. Conversely, we will consider how alternative imaginaries and forms of love bonds and intimacies with groundedness in intergenerational anti-colonial struggles and communities of co-resistance, work for the undoing of colonial violence and genocide, expanding beyond the realm of human relationships to include land and complex ecologies of life. Students will have opportunities to grow their understandings of human victimization, relationships, and resistance, most relevant to current moments in history.
