INQ-271 | Radical Movements in America

Full Title: Radical Movements in America

Topic Description:

This course is a study of social, cultural, and political movements including and following the Civil Rights Movement in the United States—roughly, the decades between 1950 and 1970. How do we as a twenty-first century audience looking and reading back comprehend and relate to these far-reaching movements? Our primary means for exploring the various movements will be literature, but we will also look to contemporary personal essays, philosophical writings, music, art, film, and documentary for additional insight. Part of the work of the course will be to explore the relationship between the movements, and their continued resonance and relevance.
