CFP Indigenous Urban Studies: Creative Futures and Indigenising Urban Studies

The urbanisation of people, space, and the future is occurring on a planetary scale (Brenner & Schmid, 2012). Indigenous peoples have been insightful scholars of urbanisation, at a local, for hundreds of years. The twentieth century urbanisation of Indigenous peoples in settler colonial countries constitutes a significant and large-scale state implemented urban project (see Barker, 2012; Edmonds, 2010; Howard & Proulx, 2011; Morgan, 2006, 2008; Porter, 2010). And yet, as the authors of the landmark edited collection, Indigenous in the City: Contemporary Identities and Cultural Innovation (2013), Evelyn Peters and Chris Andersen note, ‘Cultural innovations in cities are often not viewed as central to the production of contemporary Indigeneity’ (p. 1). Nor are Indigenous contributions to urban planning and infrastructure recognised in dominant historical and policy accounts of cities. The Urban Studies Foundation seminar series, ‘Doing Indigenous Urban Research: Creative Futures and Indigenising Urban Studies’<https://arts-ed.csu.edu.au/schools/indigenous-aust-studies/research/indigenous-urban-research>, centred Indigenous expertise and history to contemporary urban problems in Australia and demonstrated the relevance of Indigenist research approaches to international urban studies. This special issue will contain theoretically informed Indigenist approaches to urban studies as well as empirically grounded policy-relevant approaches to researching contemporary urban agendas through Indigenous knowledge of Country. The issue also aims to acknowledge the responsibilities of the urban studies discipline to Indigenous peoples dispossessed of land as a result of the discipline’s object of study.

We welcome contributions that include but are not limited to:

·      the creative ways Indigenous peoples have contributed to urbanisation and how urbanisation can support sustainable Indigenous futures
·      the Indigenous foundations of urban planning and infrastructure
·      the political, cultural, and social impacts of colonial constructions of urbanisation as non-Indigenous
·      settler colonial constructions of development and critical infrastructure in urban settings
·      Indigenous urban youth activism
·      Indigenist approaches to climate change and bio-diversity in urban spaces
·      critical reflexivity on the role of non-Indigenous urban studies scholars and the discipline in relation to settler colonisation and projects of racialisation

Interested contributors are invited to send abstracts to Dr. Holly Randell-Moon on a rolling basis until September 1, 2023. hrandell-moon at csu.edu.au<mailto:hrandell-moon at csu.edu.au>
