This course considers the ethical stances animating social and political resistance today, as well as historical sources that inform them. Examining both US and international movements, we will draw on philosophical, religious, and social research to analyze the ethical claims of diverse views, as well as the strategies and tactics of their adherents. How do resistance movements emerge amid social, technical, and economic pressures? Do they influence larger conversations of right and wrong, justice and injustice? When does resistance reinforce existing ethical values, and when does it interrupt conventional views? What factors shape the success and failure of attempts to change policies and practices? What tools can we develop to reason our way to informed participation as citizens, artists, and designers?
