Course Description | This seminar invites junior‐ and senior‐year scholars to interrogate solidarity and coalition through the lenses of Black studies, archival practice, and intersectional politics. Liberation is not a zero‐sum game. Black solidarities are both a theoretical framework and a tactical archive. Black Solidarities disrupts the idea of a Black monolith, i.e. there is no singular "Black community" or "Black experience." This course pushes us to mine the fissures in Black experience for the differences emerging from intersectional experiences of liberatory thought, politics, and social realities. We will explore the meaning of solidarity and coalition as sociological and historical phenomena. Through close readings, multimedia interviews, podcasts, and original research, students will: - Define and critique the sociological concepts of solidarity, coalition, and allyship in contemporary U.S. and global contexts. |
