LAM 220 - Religion and Movements for Social Justice (4) RJ 220 AMS 220
This course approaches the history of American Religion(s) through the lens of revolutionary justice and closely explores the role of surveillance and policing in the production of radical spiritual practice. Course materials and discussions will provide historical and contemporary context across three interrelated struggles: decolonization, abolition and immigrant justice (with a focus on Latinx and Muslim communities). Students will engage with scholarly and primary sources as well as literature, podcasts and social media to better understand how American religion(s) function as mechanisms of suppression, and uplift for anti-colonial, abolitionist struggles.
