Youth Rising - 2022F (CORE-105-018)

Youth Rising (3) In this course, students explore globally diverse youth-led movements through a multidisciplinary lens. The movements have profound connections to questions of culture, freedom, justice, violence, and civil resistance. While no single theory, paradigm, or ideology can explain the rise of diverse youth movements around the world today, a deep investigation of the scholarship, literature, case studies, and films helps students discover the possible causes and the impacts of nonviolent resistance. Students explore movements related to the climate crisis, violence, politics, economics, race, and class to provide new ways of understanding.
