Challenging Patriarchy in Indigenous Governance: Indigenous Feminist and Queer Legal Perspectives

In this episode of Stare Indecisis, Praise Oluwafemi interviews Kelly Weiling Zhou to talk about her paper that will be published in this year’s Appeal Law Review Journal. Her paper is titled: Applying Indigenous Feminist Legal Theory And Queer Indigenous Studies To Combat Editorial, Patriarchal And Heteronormative Influences In Indigenous Governance. Drawing on Indigenous feminist legal theory and queer Indigenous studies, Kelly’s paper focuses on how Indigenous communities must challenge and resist internalized heteropatriarchal and heteronormative ideologies to avoid perpetuating the settler-colonial agenda.
