- Course Catalog Description:
- Students will explore the ideas and practices of social justice movements and how those movements shape people's lived experiences in the world. This class will consider examples of effective cause-based movements to advance fairness and dignity on topics such as workers? rights, environmental justice, racial and gender equality, and human rights. Students will work together on a current social justice issue -- with both local and global implications -- designing their own responses to that issue. Through this hands-on case study, we will unpack the tools and strategies of social justice movements, use interdisciplinary perspectives to investigate structural causes and key actors, imagine what change would look like and identify tactics for bringing about that change. Community activists, artists, and advocates will be regular visitors to the class and available to students.
