Abstract

This poster emerges from a research project that places Frankfurt School critical theory in conversation with Indigenous-generated theories from across Turtle Island (North America). The intention of such an exchange is to illuminate any potential for radical co-resistance to colonial, gendered, and racialized oppressions. The project also seeks to expose historical and ongoing limitations of Frankfurt School critical theory in addressing the particular mechanics of oppression within the settler-colonial context.
