| Description | What motivates students to challenge and rebel against their
institutions? This course explores student organizing in US
colleges and universities, with a focus on several recent
movements (e.g., Black Lives Matter, Palestinian solidarity) as
well as earlier foundational ones. While examining specific
movements, we will also seek to understand the experience of
student protest and some of the broader historical dynamics of
these movements in the US. Students will aim to interview
participants in recent movements, particularly the Palestinian
solidarity movement, in order to collect the beginnings of an
oral history archive. In addition, students will complete
independent research on protest movements beyond our primary
focus and share their findings in succinct, in-class
presentations Keywords:Race, activism, Palestine, Black Lives Matter, student organizing |
