The Research Group on Comparative Indigeneity, KURF, is an interdisciplinary group of scholars based in the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education at the University of Tromsø. Our goal is to provide a forum where scholars, students, and community members can share their research results and ideas with each other. The theme ‘comparative indigeneity’ is defined broadly. We welcome the participation of anyone with a primary research interest in one or more communities that can be defined as ‘indigenous’, or who is interested in the relation between indigenous peoples and the state. We welcome a critical engagement with the term and we encourage comparison across post-colonial domains and across borders.
