| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. ENG-260-02=BLS-270-01.This course will introduce students to the contemporary movement for social justice and racial equality and policing reform. In the wake of recent murders of unarmed Black Americans at the hands of law enforcement agents, this course will provide context to the global movement for the recognition and dismantling of structural and systemic racism that denies justice to Black victims of state sanctioned violence. The course will draw upon novels, essays, news articles, social media, political theory and theological texts. These materials will ground class discussions and help to unpack the many ways that race continues to matter. Students will come away with a deeper awareness of how historical racial practices and assumptions continue to impact the life chances of Black people. Meets the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major. |
