Course Description:
The course will explore a variety of social movements across the Americas. While this course introduces students to geographical scholarship on social movements, it aims to do so from the perspective of movements themselves by engaging with social action approaches. Some conversations will focus on questions and concerns that emerge from the experiences of these movements, we turn to geographical scholarship and activism to develop analytic and theoretical approaches that enable us to pursue those questions.
