Overview of class

Ever wonder how a TikTok becomes an action or how a conversation sparks a movement? In this course, we'll explore how our ideals of justice and equity aren't just abstract concepts—they're alive in our daily choices and interactions.

Behind every protest sign, every viral hashtag, and every community organizing effort lies both sophisticated theoretical frameworks AND practical skills developed through generations of activism. One doesn't work without the other.

As we navigate this first-year seminar together, you'll discover the false boundary between what's "personal" (your self-care practices, learning styles, and individual growth) and what's "political" (the values and systems you engage with). In truth they are inseparable—and understanding this connection is power.
