Course Title

BORDERS, MIGRANTS AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN U.S.

Course Description

This course asks what are borders and what do they represent. Students will critically analyze the ways in which the U.S. border is situated at the center of a number of political, cultural, and economic experiences of life. The course also looks at the politics of the new sanctuary movement as a call to civil disobedience and a vision of social justice in the wake of immigration detention and deportation. Students will be expected to engage in historical and ethnographic readings, facilitate classroom discussion, and develop critical thinking and writing about border politics.
