The Settler Colonial Studies Association

The Settler Colonial Studies Association is an academic organization that explores how settler colonialism—a form of colonization where settlers establish permanent residency and dominate Indigenous peoples—shaped history and society. It promotes research, conversation, and understanding about the ongoing impacts of settler colonial practices worldwide. The association supports scholars, activists, and students interested in critically examining colonial histories, power dynamics, land rights, and Indigenous sovereignty, aiming to foster awareness and justice through scholarly work and public engagement.
