Starting with the remapping of pre- and post-independ ence Algeria as inspiration and a nodal point of inquiry\, the study grows to a comparison of contemporary countermapping efforts for Palestine and Hawaii. These various creative processes range from archiving\, the design of reconstructing destroyed villages\, to the embodied imagining of prote st and land restoration – all of which stand as testaments to indigenous duration.\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\nNour Joudah is an Assistant P rofessor in the Department of Asian American Studies at UCLA and a former President’s and Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Geography at UC- Berkeley (2022-23). Dr. Joudah completed her PhD in Geography at UCLA (202 2)\, and wrote her dissertation Mapping Decolonized Futures: Indigenous V isions for Hawaii and Palestine on the efforts by Palestinian and native Hawaiian communities to imagine and work toward liberated futures while ce ntering indigenous duration as a non-linear temporality. Her work examines mapping practices and indigenous survival and futures in settler states\, highlighting how indigenous countermapping is a both cartographic and dec olonial praxis. She also has a MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown Universi ty\, and wrote her MA thesis on the role and perception of exile politics within the Palestinian liberation struggle\, in particular among political ly active Palestinian youth living in the United States and occupied Pales tine.\n\nPlease emaildisability@columbia.eduto request disability accommod ations.
