Introducing the School of Arts and Social Justice by Make Shift Boston! Join us on Zoom each Thursday at 7pm for an array of unique online classes! Maybe you want to learn about the history of mutual aid and how to build offline mutual aid networks. Maybe you want to learn about what socially distant direct action can look like. Maybe you want to learn to knit or write a song/poem.
In this course, students will be guided through different radical texts that range from critical race theory to disability studies. Often these text are incredibly dense and therefore inaccessible to the greater population, in this course we will spend time breaking down each text and answering questions. The ultimate goal of the course is to bring the academy into the streets by providing those who are curious about radical theory with the tools to finally be able to read and understand the most important thinkers of our time.
About the instructor: Lennox Orion "Currently studying sociology at Simmons University graduating this May. I have done research in critical race theory at its intersection with film and disablity studies. As a neuro-divergent learner I have always been interested in radical pedagogies that break the traditional academic learning model and focus more on learning rather than grades. I firmly believe that education should be accessible and taught with the purpose of radicalizing our communities rather than as an elitist gatekeeping tool."
