This course focuses on ongoing struggles, transnationally, to make knowledges for sociopolitical, ecological, and epistemic justice across geographical and institutional boundaries. It brings into conversation themes such as: land, rivers, crops; history, haunting, memory; bodies, dreams, agitations; and poetry, protest, hope. Students grapple with a range of texts, labors, and cocreations that seek to advance sociopolitical, ecological, and climate justice with a planetary consciousness. The course explores ways of coming together across diverse sites to generate transformative practices of unlearning, relearning, creating, and be(com)ing to struggle for a just world, and to find joy and momentum in that struggle. Prerequisite: SWG 150. Enrollment limited to 18.
