Film for Social Transformation. This course explores how film and storytelling can be used to challenge hegemonic discourses, create counternarratives, and provide a means of social critique. The course combines the practical aspects of film production with feminist and critical film theory. 

Stay Woke!: World Making in a Time of Authoritarianism

This team-taught course, led by invited faculty across campus, students and community groups, is designed to provide a critical, historical, comparative, global and multidisciplinary examination of the current political moment. Topics covered include: The “Protection of The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States" Executive Order, immigration and deportation, global warming controversy, the privatization of higher education and the neoliberal university, the “fake news” syndrome, the making of the American working class, as well as historical and contemporary examples of counter-movements. The goal of the course is to provide students with the theoretical and practical tools needed to think deeply and carefully about how to build principled communities and movements in this political moment. Course assignments will be action-oriented and projects-based.

This course will engage in a critical analysis of the material consequences of educational inequity as an institutional issue and within the context of UCSD. Another key component will be a history of UCSD student activism and organizing that enables the work we do for marginalized students, and historically underrepresented and underserved communities. This will be central in contextualizing the purpose and meaning of our work as student staff at SPACES, the Student Promoted Access Center for Education and Service.

SPACES Practicum: The Politics of Desirability

MW
11:00a-12:20p

In this course we will engage in a critical analysis of cultural, social, and structural implications of desirability. We will do so by analyzing the ideational work done to mark certain bodies as desirable and others as undesirable. In particular, how the reification of these constructions has mutually defined and reproduced themes such as: racialization, anti-blackness, ability, fatness, sexuality, queerness. Lastly, how these constructions translate into access to resources and social capital.

What does critical consciousness mean if it never leaves the classroom? How can we translate the academic discourse of social justice to our communities and families in accessible and meaningful ways? How can student activists engage with UCSD on an institutional and personal level without becoming burnt out and discouraged? This course seeks to address some of the gaps between the academic and institutional discourse of social justice and the lived realities of those it affects.

An intensive capstone experience for ethnic studies majors, this course combines an advanced exploration of praxis-based approaches to social justice with practicum-based independent campus, community, creative, or research projects.

Collective Collections and Recollections seeks to create a space to build a collection of learned lessons, lived realities, forms of resistance, imaginations, and ways of knowings. Through gathering and collecting mementos, oral traditions, memories, stories, wisdom, scars, and knowledge, we will examine different mediums of storytelling, relearning and find ways of reconnecting and rebuilding our journey from the past to the present and to the future.

As we explore and try to find our “place(s)” in society and our communities where we can exist in the midst of the margins, borders, boundaries, and beyond, we may find ourselves trying to discover and make sense of who we are -- the self . Often times, in this process, we are misplaced  - put in the wrong place and lost temporarily, we are displaced - forced to move out of our comfort zones, and we are replaced - substituted and no longer given a place. As these processes occur and take shape; this can lead to a detachment from the self as we are thrown in various directions and found at various intervals, rather than all together. Join us in navigating, placing, and piecing together the scattered self. For more information please click here.
