To address this goal, we developed a course held at the collegiate level that uniquely integrated microbiology, Indigenous studies, science and technology studies, and arts and performance. The course participants included students in 12 majors across science, engineering, humanities, and arts. The different disciplines of the course intersected around Inuit fermented foods as the basis for discussions on fundamental microbiological principles, the scientific method, food sovereignty, and Indigenous peoples’ rights. A diverse array of activities was included, ranging from lectures in microbiology and fermentation, a sauerkraut-making lab, a walk through the Native American contemplative garden, a workshop on Inuit drum making and dance, as well as a performance by Inuit-soul group Pamyua. We propose that a radically interdisciplinary approach and a human rights framework in microbiology education can be a way to enhance microbiology and science literacy for a diverse group of students.

In this chapter on Indigenous citizenship, I analyze the citizenship status of Indigenous Greenlanders, the Greenland Inuit, and how Danish citizenship has been practiced in different phases of the Greenland history, from Greenland being a Danish colony to Greenland Self-government. The cases illustrate how the IUD campaign concerning reproductive rights, the birthplace criterion and how children of Greenland Inuit living in Denmark have been forcefully removed from their parents, relate to power and ‘symbolic violence’. These cases illustrate how discrimination against the Indigenous peoples of Greenland, the Greenland Inuit, have taken place and e.g., founded in a law based on people’s birthplace and thus linked to indigeneity (e.g., origin and language), was conducted, despite Greenlanders being Danish citizens and formally on equal terms with other Danish citizens. Intersectional and transnational approaches show the importance for Indigenous peoples to be ‘rooted’, in the society in which they grow up. For feminist researchers, it is important to be critical to systems of power that are both racialized and gendered, how they are reproduced, and how class privileges and belonging support these processes.
