Abstract

This session problematizes the concept of LGBTQ2S+ ally, suggesting instead the Indigenous Action Network’s conceptualization of being an accomplice. Dian suggests an intersectional and humanistic approach that requires instructors to historicize and build their understanding of oppression, and ultimately use their privilege/capital to take action. Doing so in the online environment will take new imagining as the student-instructor relationship will inevitably be different than in face-to-face relationships.
