UCOR-3400 : Literature and Activism

When faced with global issues like social and environmental injustice, how can one person (or a committed few) make a difference? This course will consider the multicultural history and literature of the United States; through examination of novels, poetry, film, and historical documents, we will understand the roots of social and environmental justice and be inspired by models of individual advocacy, then participate in our own advocacy through service learning and a creative, impactful final project.
