SOJ 101 - Social Justice / Social Change

We’ve seen a marked rise in street protest, youth organizing (and middle-aged women organizing), digital activism and “distributed” organizing, and creative social movement tactics, in the last few years. We’ve also experienced an increase in conversations, on social media and in person, about social justice, historical inequalities, and visioning for more just, free, joyful, safe futures for all of us. So many of us are considering questions about what a more just future looks like, and how we can get there. This course will invite us to consider these questions together. This course will offer a background in sociological approaches to identity, inequality, justice and processes for creating social change.
