Where Did Your Rights Go?—The Supreme Court, Politics and the Constitution

You probably remember where you were on June 24, 2022, the day Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. The Court has remained in the news ever since. Which other rights are in danger of being lost to an unelected branch of government? We will analyze the evolution of the Court through historical, political, and equity lenses, using White Rage by Carol Anderson, Dark Money by Jane Mayer and The Scheme by Sheldon Whitehouse to guide us.

October 22-November 12.

Banned Books and Free Speech—Developing a Language to Talk about Racism and Antisemitism

Genocide, settler colonialism, antisemitism, racism, apartheid, censure, divestment. Words fail us. A movement to ban books gained momentum in the United States in 2021 in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests in 2021.

Now, in 2024, the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, the subsequent Israeli attack on Gaza, campus protests and Congressional hearings have caused a deeply consequential divide in the American Liberal/Progressive coalition. We seem to lack the language to bridge this divide, and into this breach have flowed many powerful voices demanding strict limits on acceptable dialogue. Why is this happening? Can we develop a language of unity, authenticity and engagement that helps preserve our essential partnership? The instructor will provide all the material.


Thursdays, 3:30-5:30pm. September 19-October 24 (No class October 3)
