HUM-2015: Inflection Points: No Silence Among Friends (civil Rights)

What change do you want to see in the world? This class will examine recent events and historical moments to better understand what prompts a person to rise and to be a force for change. How do the humanities prepare us to understand and interpret the upheavals of our own time: wars, racism, colonization, genocide, disease, climate change, and political upheaval? We will study the lives and voices of slaves and racism, suffragettes and feminism, native Americans, and civil rights activists through a variety of texts and images that will enrich our understanding of the challenges and resistances at work in our own time. This class will draw on these moments through primary texts, art, speech, poetry, and music to engage with the present and ultimately speak up for the change we want to see in our community, state, nation, and the world. The course will have readings, videos, art, music, workshops, projects, conversations, and reflections.
