Justice Studies 1: Social Movements through Spoken Word & Storytelling

Friday 10am-1pm, Professor Bryonn Bain

This course will apply a range of research-based, interactive arts-based strategies, and work with university participants and the broader community, to answer the question: what is Justice? Using critical texts, creative work and collaborative methods, we will engage diverse perspectives to examine the intersection of race, gender, class and the criminal justice system. Through research, writing, workshops and performance, students will create original writings developed in response to scholars, artists, culture workers and community partners representing a diverse and growing body of work on systems of justice.
