Course ID
042742
Course Description
Since its inception, colleges and universities have been robust sites for student activism. Much of this activism has been led by students with marginalized identities seeking broader diversity, inclusion. And equity throughout their college experience. While college student activism has led to curricular and co-curricular change, there has been a recent focus on the various nodes of college student activism (e.g. Black Lives Matter, The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement, the Labor Movement), as well as its broader purposes and effects on and off campus. In this course, students will explore college student activism as an historical, social, cultural, and political phenomenon, as well as the potential for student activism to reimagine university life.
