From Civil Rights to Human Rights: Community Organizing for Social Change
Department(s)
Description
This course will explore how social movements in the U.S. and abroad are using human rights frameworks and mechanisms to advance their struggles for racial justice and social and economic rights, including the rights to water, land, and housing. The course will also situate contemporary activism in historic context by shedding light on the longstanding efforts of African-American activists to advance racial justice using the lexicon and moral authority of human rights, as opposed to a narrower civil rights framing.
