This course will explore representations of desire, sexuality, and womanhood in African American literature. We will trace the landscape of past, present, and futuristic representations of black female sexuality through an exploration of women's writings, ranging from slave narratives to science fiction. Our investigations will focus on the multifaceted ways that Black women choose self definition over culturally dominant narratives that attempt to degrade and place limitations upon Black womanhood.
Modern Social Movements
Inertia and the status quo dominate even the most modern societies. So what makes change happen? What makes an idea become a cause and a cause become a movement? In this class, we will examine major social movements in modern America. The Labor Movement. The Women's Suffrage Movement. The Civil Rights Movement. The Vietnam Anti-War Movement. The Women's Movement. The Gay Rights Movement. Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. What did they have in common? What made each distinct? What strategic moves and mistakes did their leaders make?
