INTDS 240 Overview

Through lenses of power, resistance, and identity, this course will draw from history and sociology to examine a range of social movements including: the feminist and women's movement, Black power and civil rights, and Black lives matter movements, the Chicano Movement/Latinx, Native American (including Wisconsin tribes), and Asian movements. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand, analyze, and compare the origins, strategies, tactics and outcomes of various social movements including their roots/history and politics that placed them outside of the "mainstream" American culture.
