3 hours Climates of Inequality Climates of Inequality: From Puerto Rico, the U.S./Mexico border. Same as LALS 495. The climate crisis is not new for those it most severely impacts Indigenous and Black communities, People of Color, and low-wage earners. Instead, it is a continuation of disproportionate environmental harms they have resisted for generations. Using transnational case studies from Chicagos Latinx community, Puerto Rico, the U.S./Mexico border, and other localities, this course will examine the critical intersection of environmental and social justice with a focus on the Environmental Justice (EJ) movement and larger systems of power and privilege that produce unjust environmental and climate conditions. This course builds on the Climates of Inequality project and incorporates various community engagement strategies to expand students understanding of the topic. Students will engage with EJ leaders in public presentations, participate in local EJ tours, and create community-based projects using Chicago sacrifice zones as sites of inquiry. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. Online

3 hours Memory/Activism/Archives This seminar examines the politics of memory and commemoration, focusing on human rights issues, historical erasure and justice mobilization. From the decades of activism of Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, to the feminist movement Ni Una Mas in Mexico, to the global demonstrations to remove monuments to slavery and colonialism, we will explore the role of memory as a site of struggle for justice, healing and liberation. In this process, we will consider questions such as the following: How do social movements shape, construct and use memory? What types of archives have emerged in the waves of activism for social justice? What is the logic and practice of memory activism? What are the strategies of visibility and representation emerging from collective memory? In short, this course will especially emphasize research on the use of memory practices and cultural repertoires by marginalized communities, activists, archivists, museum workers and artists as means for social and historical justice. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
