My project aims to study the role of women within the Global Indigenous Movement #GIM since the foundation of the World Wide Web.
From a transnational perspective, I focus on indigenous women's organizations native to Brazil,
Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, India, Kurdistan and (even) Europe.
I am interested in their online self-representations: the way they make and theorize their own #history.

#Indigenous #Women themselves have been:
* challenging the colonial concepts coined about them;
* weaving a global movement of struggle and solidarity;
* self-representing online.
* transforming the concept of "indigenous" as well as the idea of "women".
So, regarding at one melting-pot of #Zapatista, #Jineology and #Mapuche (+ other) self-science and awereness, I try to map this #history.

"wait, India, Kurdistan, and Europe?"
Yes.
I'm concerned with the debates on (anti)capitalism, (trans)nationalism and (post)colonialism. On my exploratory research, I perceived transformations on the constructed identity of #indigenous historiographically more attached to the Native American context.
Is it possible to find Sami, Kurd and Adivasis women on the same grounds as the diverse Native American?
