    3.00 Credits

    This course explores the role of the imagination in nonviolent social change initiatives. We read and discuss imaginative representations of social conflicts, noticing what happens in us and through us, individually and collectively. Moving back and forth between reading and writing, we investigate how texts speak to us and how to "speak back" through writing. Readings range from Chinua Achebe, James Baldwin and Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Ursula K. LeGuin, Rebecca Solnit and Alice Walker. While turning our attention to the politics of the imagination at home and far away, we create a collaborative, participatory learning community.

  • PAX 325: Twentieth-Century African American Thinkers

    3.00 Credits
    Naropa University

    From the earliest times the people of African descent in this country have resisted oppression in a myriad of ways. In their relentless struggle for freedom, African Americans have broadened and deepened the meaning of democracy. In pressing the nation to be more open and just, they have contributed richly to the corpus of modern political and social thought. Their contribution to the expansion of democracy is a major piece of U.S. history. This course explores the meaning of African American thought through the primary writings of thinker-activists such as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, Howard Thurman, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis and Andrew Young.
