“The Forgotten: Racialization, Gendered Violence, and Sexual Labours”
This new, fourth-year course will be taught alongside, and in conversation with, an exhibit of large paintings entitled, “The Forgotten,” by Pamela Masik, at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) from early February to mid-March 2011. It is estimated that across Canada between 500 and 3,000 Aboriginal women have gone missing or been murdered. Similar patterns have emerged globally, such as the murders of more than 90 women in Ciudad-Jarez, Mexico. This course will explore diverse themes of (neo)colonization, marginalization and resistance, violence and safety, memory and forgetting, and the complexities of sex work for women, men, and trans people in Canada, and beyond Canadian borders.
