Theories of social movements will provide a foundation for discussion and analysis on culturally relevant topics, which can include anti-racist and anti-colonial issues and the struggle and resistance against racism, as groups work toward a more racially just and equitable society. Although earlier political and social clubs will be discussed, primary emphasis will be placed on social movements since the 1960s, such as the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State University and the University of California Berkeley, the Black Panthers, Young Lords, etc. Students will consider how racial and ethnic justice movements have transformed the meaning of America and American democracy. Emphasis will be placed on contemporary issues of racial justice considering varying political leadership and demographic changes. A key question students will consider is why race still matters to movements for social justice today.Usually HeldThu 9:35am–11:00am, Wed 11:10am–12:35pm, Mon Wed 11:10am–12:35pm, Mon Wed 9:35am–11:00am
