Kommentar/Beschreibung

This course will explore the historical and cultural significance of civil rights and civil disobedience in the United States. Through an examination of the ways in which individuals and groups have utilized nonviolent resistance, civil disobedience, and other forms of protest to advance their rights and bring about social and political change, students will gain insight into the complex dynamics of power, justice, and social transformation. The course will closely scrutinize key moments in American history, including the struggle for independence, Thoreau's seminal position on civil disobedience, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as examples of civil disobedience pertaining to Native Americans and American women. By critically engaging with these pivotal events, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the role of civil disobedience in American society, and its potential to effect positive change.

The course requires active student engagement and participation and will involve weekly reading and writing assignments. These activities are integral to the learning experience and will contribute to students' comprehension of the course material. Attending class regularly is crucial to success in this course. Therefore, it is expected that students prioritize this course by carefully assessing their extracurricular commitments to ensure they can devote sufficient time and energy to their studies.

Full credit for this course (5 CP) will be granted upon successful completion of a written end-of-term assignment. Specific instructions and requirements will be provided at the appropriate time during the semester.
