In this course, students will examine how artists and activists forge alternative models of belonging and resistance across time, space, and species. They will explore how past strategies for mutual aid, community self-representation, and testimonial justice inform contemporary world-making practices. Through theoretical readings and analysis, seminar discussion, and small creative-critical projects, students will connect histories of survival with generative forms of kinship across human and more-than-human communities. Emphasis is placed on students developing ethical, self-reflective approaches to creative-critical practice.Philosophy and Critical Theory (PHCRT) courses focus on developing critical reading and thinking skills, with an emphasis on learning to frame and explore meaningful questions. Students consider multiple perspectives and claims in the process of formulating independent, well-founded opinions.
