| Course Title: Topics in Critical Social Thought: ''Diversity, Inclusion, and Daily Democracy in US History' |
| Start Date: 10/21/2020 End Date: 12/14/2020 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2020 |
| Description: How have Americans -- and those contending with America -- envisioned and reached for more just and inclusive communities? What historical circumstances have opened opportunities for more robust democratic forms to emerge in the face of oppression? We will consider structural barriers to meaningful inclusion, involving racism, wealth, poverty, property, citizenship, gender, sexuality, disability, and dissent, as well as efforts to overcome them through concerted action and cultural struggle in the arts and public humanities. What public stories shape our connections with one another? What can we learn about the possibilities for sustaining democracy through daily life and culture? |
