04C notes: Social Justice, Race, Class, and Other Third Rail Issues in a Post George Floyd America. Drawing from written and oral histories as well as music and the visual arts, students will analyze a variety of historical and contemporary social justice movements, with emphasis on exploring voices of the marginalized and disenfranchised that have traditionally been highlighted in center cities like Boston, Massachusetts and throughout The United States of America. Students will examine the relationship among self, text and society, engage in small and large group discussions, and take a turn crafting their own definitions of social justice, race and other related subject areas. This course emphasizes writing as a process, from planning and drafting through revising and editing. Students will learn to write unified, coherent, well-developed essays and practice paraphrasing, summarizing and using sources responsibly.

02C notes: From Dreams to Reality, Exploring The World We Live In: through this writing course, students will bridge personal and global concerns by exploring those issues that impact their lives. Students will delve into relevant topics, beginning with their personal dreams, and leading into their social concerns. From here, we will examine global issues that are particularly important to the individuals in the class. Through an analysis of newspaper and journal readings, both assigned and chosen by the student, and through research, the class will gain a deeper understanding of those topics that are of a major concern to them. They will ultimately develop the skills necessary in formal essay writing to best communicate ideas and opinions. In doing so, students will strengthen the necessary essay writing skills for all classes on the college level.

90C notes: THEME: Media Studies and Censorship A New Landscape for Practicing and Interrogating Critical Perspectives on Media and Society. In this course we will be examining many of the current questions social and humanist scholars are exploring through the lens of critical media studies and issues of censorship writ large. We will delve into issues of what it means to have free speech and democracy when technology firms own the platforms for that speech and democracy, and for the means of its production. We will look at politics and censorship in political parties in the contexts of legacy and new media platforms and what this may mean for democratic practices big and small. We delve into the current context of war and censorship, what role large powers like the US, Russia, China or others play, and how censorship becomes central to that project. Finally, we end the course with an exploration of censorship in and around the greater Middle East, forms of self-censorship, and the emergence of new/old forms of trauma in our lives.

91C notes: THEME: Equal and Cultural Wealth at Home Students will define and engage the concepts of equity and culture wealth in their own lives and local communities. Using Boston as our starting point, we will explore systemic and structural inequality in housing, healthcare, education, and employment and its impact on people from communities of color. We will also explore the concept of cultural wealth and examine how people from historically marginalized communities have leveraged their strengths to combat these forms of inequality and oppression. We will then use what we learn to identify the inequalities that are present in our own lives and explore how we can leverage our own cultural wealth for success at home, school, and work.

290C notes: THEME: Self-Care/Community Care. In this course, we will interrogate and bring our own stories, ideas images, histories, and practices to notions of home-grown, community-based, movement-making models of "care." Get ready to share home remedies for healing, record gratitude scripts, research The Black Panthers' community schools, interrogate Karl Jung's theories of universal archetypes, review second-wave lesbian-feminist Press-movements, and commune with Black Lives Matters' activist meditations. Our studies will be grounded in equity and cultural wealth lenses that pose questions about care and caring, such as: How do all of us care for ourselves and one another? And how have racially "marginalized" communities created care practices for one another historically and currently, as forms of resistance?
