Inhabit: Belonging to Bodies and Lands

Inhabit is an online course that will examine eco-feminist and indigenous feminist perspectives on body, land, and home through texts from multiple genres and disciplines, and from different communities across the world. Through collective discussions, writing, and engaging with the various texts, this course will look into the frameworks and practices of how the places we inhabit are theorized, whether they are through the materiality of bodies and lands, the communal, as well as inhabiting through memories, imagination, and histories.

The course will use both English and Arabic, in texts and discussions.

The objectives of the course include:

Learning about indigenous feminist and eco-feminist frameworks

Exploring themes around land, bodies, home and belonging from different parts of the world from indigenous and eco feminist perspectives

Experimenting with how indigenous and eco-feminist concepts related to body, land, memory and home relates to our personal and collective perceptions
