Community Justice II draws on continued service learning at Granite Park Junior High to examine how history, power, economics, and discrimination shape schooling practices and student experiences. It also asks students to critically reflect on service learning itself, as it offers opportunities to both disrupt and reinforce these power relations that lead to inequalities in educational contexts.

Intersectionality has become an important way to talk about oppression, social location, and identity in feminist theory. In this course, we will explore the possibilities and limitations of intersectionality in terms that extend beyond talk: Does intersectionality help people and communities connect theory with practice, research with action? In what ways? To what extent? Through close analysis of primary texts, ethnographies, art, music, and film, we will engage with the work of activists and social justice movements where intersectionality emerges as a conceptual tool and a methodology to pursue social transformation. We will critically explore how intersectionality supports efforts to analyze and to address structures of oppression based on gender, race, class, disability, sexuality, and nation. With particular attention to historical and global contexts that highlight intellectual and activist perspectives from marginalized communities, we will gain a nuanced understanding of intersectionality and its development.

This course explores the links between ethics and climate justice, with an emphasis on the intersectionality of the climate crisis and power that shape inequality, resistance, and strategies for social transformation. The course emphasizes how marginalized communities, women, the disabled and people of color, are hit the hardest by climate change, but they are also leaders of resistance against interlocking systems of oppressions at the root of the crisis. Through readings, class discussions, documentary films, and research projects, we'll debate the meanings of climate justice, while studying the people's environmental movements in the Global South; ecofeminism; queer perspectives on environmental justice; sustainable agriculture and redistribution of global resources; and the effects of globalization and militarism on nature.

It is important to highlight the role that women are playing in globalisation from bellow. Yet, while the neoliberal project moves forward (i.e. deregulation of trade, privatization of the commons, and circulation of markets, labor, finance capital, and consumer culture) this is rooted in 500-year history of colonialism and imperialism.

A cross- cultural emphasis on gender and ethnicity will permeate the learning throughout the course.

4.00 Credits
With programing that holds salacious titles such as Stalked, Last Seen Alive, Surviving Evil, Southern Fried Homicide, House of Horrors: Kidnapped, Beauty Queen Murders, Dates from Hell and Swamp Murders the Investigative Discovery (ID) channel is the go to place to marvel at the frequency of violent deaths white women suffer at the hands of deranged murderers. It would be erroneous to assume that the ID channel only sets out to tell the story of white women, but, with very few exceptions, most of the programming evolves around the horrifying deaths or near deaths experienced by white women. It also needs to be noted that in between true crime stories about the murder of beauty queens, southern belles and the young white woman last seen walking home from school, the ID channel also includes series of white women as murderers. But what the programming does not include, unless it is at the hands of hysterical or evil white women, are the deaths of men. As the 11th most watched prime time cable TV channel for people 18-49 and the most watched ad-supported TV channel for women ages 25-54 of 2015, we must ask, why? What is so attractive about watching dead white women? What is it about white women's deaths that peeks our voyeuristic instincts? Do we as a culture find pleasure at the horrifying deaths of white women at the hands of abusive lovers and husbands? What is so titillating about these TV series? In this course we will watch popular documentary-style crime drama, scripted TV series, films and documentary films that demonstrates our (unhealthy) obsession with the death of white women. We will study these works from an interdisciplinary approach that includes theorists from film studies, cultural anthropology, feminist studies and critical race studies. Students will be required to have a Netflix account and access to the Internet. Course requirements include attendance, class discussion participation, group presentations and a research paper.

This course engages various topics in ecofeminism. Topics will include, among others, decolonial ecofeminisms, new materialisms, posthuman perspectives, indigenous cosmologies and feminist perspectives to environmental justice, all under a global justice framework. The course also explores the links between ecological depredation and the genderization of nature and the economy. To explore these topics, the course will analyze multiple case studies of social-environmental movements and struggles that intersect with gender, race/ethnicity and class both in the Global South and the Global North.
