Indigenous Resistance/Americas

This course is an introduction to contemporary indigenous resistance in the Americas. We will examine the history, law, and politics framing indigenous struggles in North, Central, and South America as deal with the political and theoretical issues implicated in these struggles and raised by indigenous activism. We will engage with a wide range of materials in constitutional law, political science, anthropology, history, documentary films, journalism, social media, and indigenous writings and narratives from activists.

Labor History

This course examines labor and work in the U.S., from colonial America to the present. We will consider: 1) the relationship between workers, employers, and the state; 2) the strategies that workers? movements have used to build power, along with employers? strategies to minimize that power ; 3) the internal workings of unions, such as democracy, politics, and union structure; and 4) the roles of workers? organizations in reproducing (or changing) inequalities stemming from gender, race, citizenship status, and other identities.
