Using Indigenous Feminist Land Ethics to Queer the Korean Missionary Position in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This essay reflects on my practice of building solidarity with Indigenous peoples in a research project on diasporic Korean Christian missionary involvement with Indigenous communities in British Columbia. I incorporate an Indigenous feminist land ethic of relationality to queer my investigation of Korean missionary relationships with Indigenous peoples in Canada. I bring queer, woman of colour and Indigenous feminist perspectives into conversation with Asian Canadian studies to examine how the relationships between Korean diasporic and Indigenous subjects are structured by the normative logics of settler colonialism and late global capitalism. Korean Canadians occupy a conflicted position as marginalized citizens in a settler nation with global economic aspirations. Yet, in the context of neoliberal multiculturalism, they can also be complicit in white settler colonial and capitalist projects, which encourage Koreans to perform and be recognized as respectable, upwardly mobile citizens. By theorizing personal memoir and lived experience, my aim is to present a self-reflexive research methodology and explore how Indigenous feminist perspectives offer non-normative epistemologies that can transform institutions in radically queer ways.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
