The Perversity of Colonial Desire
This article engages a Lacanian psychoanalytic reading of the process of subjectification that produces the settler as a social subject. The analysis is rooted in a reading of Lacan through Deleuze and Guattari, which the article argues may offer an alternative nonessentialist and more historically grounded analysis. Specifically, this article attends to the role that the fetish plays in the ongoing cultural appropriation of Indigenous spirituali…
Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject
This book offers an intervention into the process of decolonization through the re-subjectification of the settler subject. The authors draw on what Deleuze and Guattari call minor threads of philosophy, pedagogy, spirituality, and healing practices rooted in neglected lineages of European thought and ceremony. The book proposes a methodology for unontologizing the settler subject, which they term "desettlering." Rather than fetishizing indigenou…
De-Settlering Ourselves

The authors explore a range of questions related to their settler identities as participants in the conference. How are we as settlers to engage in a conference entitled "CYC in Action", held at an institution constructed on Indigenous land, and dedicated to the promu…

This article examines the Trump administration’s family separation immigration policy within the context of the logic of 21st-century capitalism. It suggests that the events related to the policy are not anomalous, but profoundly indicative of a system of governance that is removing itself with increasing speed from the concerns of actual living material bodies. In this sense, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is less about the maltreatment…
Appropriating Care and Hijacking Desire
In this article, we trace the rise of neoliberalism and its impacts on the historical role of human services within the academy and the community. We ask whether we can re-think and re-envision a 21st century academy rooted in the material actualities of daily living and connected in very real ways to the struggles of those Human Services was designed to serve. Finally, we propose that Human Services could have a significant role to play in devel…
