T.J. Tallie, Ph.D.
Closing Keynote, October 10th
T.J. Tallie specializes in the comparative settler colonial and imperial history, with a focus on South Africa. His interests, broadly defined, involve colonialism, gender and racial identity, indigeneity, and religious expression. At USD, he teaches courses in African History, Global History, Pacific History, and Gender and Sexuality. His book "Queering Colonial Natal" takes the reader on "travels to colonial Natal established by the British in 1843, today South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province to show how settler regimes “queered” indigenous practices."
Dr. Tallie is interested in thinking with students around questions of power, belonging, and community, especially with his students majoring in STEM fields.
