What is a social movement? Under which conditions do they emerge, and what accounts for their success or decline? This course will provide a broad overview of social movements from the past several decades, including movements of labor, civil rights and black liberation, queer liberation, global justice, plaza occupations, and the environment.

In this noisy world with its surplus of words, does it matter what one says? This course introduces students to the linguistic turn in 20th Century French philosophy, with particular attention to the role of language in what it means to be a person among others. It is grounded in close readings of texts by Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Blanchot, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Jacques Derrida. Among the first to explore the ethical impact of language, these works provide tools for thinking about today's most pressing questions. How is it that words can harm, and what is the nature of this harm?
