Refusing our business of settler colonial violence: An agnotological-hauntological theoretical framework

This thesis centres on refusing our business of settler colonial violence based on four autotheroetical sites of refusal that I have experienced within and across the Lands of the Palestinian and Boon Wurrung peoples under the occupation of the settler colonial nation states of so-called “Israel” and “Australia”. Grounded in settler colonial and critical Indigenous studies, I define our business of settler colonial violence as a specific global system of knowledge-ignorance accumulation that, through our invasive and militarised inquiries founded in settler colonial power (Morgensen, 2011; Puar, 2018), targets Indigenous peoples, knowledges and Lands within and across multiple Indigenous territories (Sukarieh & Tannock, 2013; Tuck & Yang, 2014b).
