Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Latin American women's movements, protest, and activism! Students in this class will engage in oral history methods, learn digital tools, and participate in group projects with students from Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, Argentina.
How do activists fight for change, both online and in the streets? How have women's agendas and strategies changed during the 20th and 21th century? Feminist movements in Latin America are at a critical historical juncture. Activists throughout the hemisphere are organizing to demand change and justice, to denounce pervasive misogyny and gender violence, and to envision and realize another world. They are mobilizing in digital and physical spaces under the hashtags #NiUnaMenos and #AbortoLegalYa, to condemn femicide, to advocate access to legal abortions in public hospitals, and to introduce comprehensive sex education in public schools. From Mexico to Argentina, women, lesbians, trans, and non-binary people are fighting together for the right to live without fear, the right to make decisions about their own bodies, and the right to exist in a just world. As part of the Global Classrooms, this course is a unique opportunity to learn from and with activists, scholars, and students from Argentina.
