RES 385 - Liberation Movements: Empowerment, Solidarity, and Praxis Why are people in today’s world still struggling for liberation from economic oppression, political repression, religious intolerance, and modern slavery? Why do so many people live with food scarcity, unclean water, and inadequate educational resources? How do these people work for their own liberation? What does it mean to stand with oppressed persons as Allies and Upstanders?

Particular attention given to Feminist, Womanist, Black, Native American, Disability, LGBTQ, and Latin American liberation activists. Codes: BR. Prereq: PEQ in Religious Studies.
