Senior History Major Standing. This course historicizes present-day mobilizations within the labor, Black Lives Matter, abolish ICE, and Stop AAIP movements. Course readings and discussions will track the evolution of these movements since the 1900s, analyze how activists push for societal change, and evaluate the obstacles that stand in their way. Students will also grapple with how historians document these social movements and the new forms of knowledge they produce. By the end of the course, students will have an appreciation of the diverse and sometimes contradictory ways activists have tried to imagine a world free of poverty, colonialism, and white supremacy.
