Abstract

Nishant Upadhyay (they/them) is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. This talk theorizes Indigenous and South Asian everyday proximities, relationalities, and intimacies, or what they call colonial intimacies, within the Canadian setter state by exploring short stories written by Cree writer Thomas Highway and Punjabi writer Sadhu Binning. Colonial intimacies engage with gender, sexual, and racial formations to theorize the coloniality of racial/sexual power.
