GEOG 80.05 10 Weeks, 10 Professors: #BlackLivesMatter
This collaboratively taught course seeks to
answer the call of activists around the country
to examine racialization, state violence, and
inequality in the context of the
#BlackLivesMatter movement. To begin, it
offers a context for the events in Ferguson,
Missouri in 2014. Then, it situates those
events in a broader history of race and racism
in the United States. Finally, the course
highlights black feminist and queer
approaches to questions of trauma,
community, politics, and survival.
