Courageous Tri 2

In this trimester, Courageous Conversations will go beyond explorations of identity. Courageous students will delve into how our various positionalities interact with the pillars of American institutions: our educational and law enforcement systems. With the help of texts such as Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow, Ta-Nahesi Coates's Between The World And Me, as well as varied articles, video, and class discussion, students will explore the essential questions and solutions to the problems that persist within our institutions. Finally, as students deepen their understanding of justice and racism, students will courageously take up their own social justice concern to research, teach about, and act upon.
