AS 362.308 - From Civil Rights to Multi-Culturalism: Student Movements for Social Change

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

This colloquium examines the historical and contemporary connections between student activism and the struggle for civil rights in America, combining classroom study with practical community collaboration. Scholarly readings and class discussions will provide historical context, familiarizing students with the history of student activism and the struggle for African American civil rights in the United States since World War II. A key focus of the class will be the black experience on campus, in communities, and in American society more generally. Students will also participate in collaborative fieldwork, partnering with local high school students and community activists to create a documentary film focusing on civil rights and community relations in Baltimore. A historical understanding of the student and civil rights movements will both inform, and be enriched by, students' participation in the documentary project.
