The Humanities for Just Communities initiative will offer the following courses this Fall!
All of these courses will include a project that makes an intervention in the year's social justice theme (health justice), and students in these courses will present their project to the broader Oxy community in the Spring showcase!
A course centered around the question: How can we be "well" when the world is beset by the existential issue of climate change?
A course that studies the relationship between music, sound, and disease, with a focus on how the disabling effects of disease affect musical performance (singing and playing), and how composers and performers have responded to and represented disease
A course on how immigrant and refugee health histories help us understand the development of health injustices and imagine migrant healthcare and healing for our times.
A course that examines how well-being, health, and illness are represented through the study and creation of animated cinematic media and storytelling.
An FYS course on how to conceptualize health justice and what justice looks like within various aspects of healthcare.
An FYS course on how performances both intervene or amplify the representations and politicization of disease.
