Anti-colonial queer and trans scholarship in so-called Australia has distinctly Indigenist origins. Both differing from and connected to Native queer and Two-Spirit critiques from Turtle Island, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander thinking on gender and hetero/sexuality is foundational in Indigenous Studies. It is also inextricable from legacies of Blak activism and solidarity with both Native American and Black intellectual movements. Visiting Fulbright scholar from Dharug Country (Sydney, Australia), Madi Day will speak on their PhD research which uses existing Black, Indigenous and anti-colonial theory to examine gender and heterosexuality as forms of colonial power, and consider why these approaches are yet to be taken up as central theory in Gender and Sexuality Studies in settler colonial nations.
Presented by the Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students, Equity & Belonging, The Mellon Initiative and the Schools of Public Engagement at The New School.

At home, Madi enjoys doing homework and driving lessons with young people in their community, camping and swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
The New School’s Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students reflects the goal of lifelong higher learning articulated by the founders of The New School in 1919. In 1943, The New School began offering a bachelor's degree program for adults to address the educational needs of returning WWII veterans. Today, we continue to dedicate ourselves to that mission in a program that offers exceptional services and an innovative curriculum to nearly 1,000 adult students in New York City and online.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities. These lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances feature prominent and emerging artists, activists, and thought leaders.
