CRES 190Y Solidarity

Considers different moments in movement work—for example, solidarity with Palestine, #NODAPL, Mauna Kea, Black freedom struggles, ACT UP, trans liberation, and beyond—and explores the failures and liberatory potential of solidarity. Students read theoretical meditations on solidarity, thinking through what it means to study solidarity, and also consider how solidarity can require risk, danger, and loss. Most importantly, course studies what it means to craft horizontal networks of care in the face of the ceaseless demands to (re)produce hierarchical ones.
