Abstract

We examine the possibilities for Indigenization afforded by a visit from the girls’ group, Young Indigenous Women's Utopia (YIWU), to York University. Through classroom presentations, workshops, and a book launch, the girls shared their knowledge, perspectives, culture, and art, challenged stereotypes, and inspired university community members. The visit encouraged local students and faculty to find innovative ways to disrupt prevailing colonial norms by employing strategies such as public workshops, the Alternative Campus Tour and curating exhibits so as to integrate Indigenous knowledge, histories, and epistemologies. In this article, we explore the transformative potential of such encounters and emphasize the imperative to prioritize Indigenous knowledge systems and empower Indigenous girls in educational realms.

去殖民化、本土化和为土著女孩提供访问约克大学的空间
我们考察了土著青年妇女乌托邦(义乌)女孩组织对约克大学的访问所提供的本土化可能性。通过课堂演讲、研讨会和新书发布,这些女孩们分享了她们的知识、观点、文化和艺术,挑战了刻板印象,并激励了大学社区成员。这次访问鼓励当地的学生和教师找到创新的方法,通过采用诸如公共研讨会、另类校园之旅和策划展览等策略来打破普遍的殖民规范,从而整合土著知识、历史和认识论。在本文中,我们探讨了这种遭遇的变革潜力,并强调必须优先考虑土著知识系统,并在教育领域赋予土著女孩权力。

期刊介绍: Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is a peer-reviewed journal providing a forum for the critical discussion of girlhood from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and for the dissemination of current research and reflections on girls'' lives to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience of scholars, researchers, practitioners in the fields of education, social service and health care and policy makers. International and interdisciplinary in scope, it is committed to feminist, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression approaches and solicits manuscripts from a variety of disciplines. The mission of the journal is to bring together contributions from and initiate dialogue among perspectives ranging from medical and legal practice, ethnographic inquiry, philosophical reflection, historical investigations, literary, cultural and media research to curriculum design and policy-making. Topics addressed within the journal include girls and schooling, girls and feminism, girls and sexuality, girlhood in the context of Boyhood Studies, girls and new media and popular culture, representation of girls in different media, histories of girlhood, girls and development.
