English 118lf - Colloquium in Writing: Liberating the Future

In the era of rapid climate change, global migration, enormous income disparities driven by capitalism’s greed for profit, and a pandemic that disproportionately affects Black, Brown, and low-income people, the future has become an urgent concern. Although media reports can feel apocalyptic, this concern has also inspired visions of a world free from capitalism, police, and injustice. This course delves into innovative, liberating responses to this moment of crisis, including Black feminist lessons from marine mammals and Indigenous peoples’ restorative responses to climate change. Our readings foreground African American, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ voices in various nonfiction genres. Enrollment limited to 15. (E)
