Walking: Place, Discipline, Dissent

3–5 credits · Undergraduate

Using an interdisciplinary approach that includes humanities scholarship, literary texts, popular media, and participant observation, this class will investigate the myriad relations between walking, ideology and ecology. From the Nakba to Ferguson, we will explore walking as resistance, collective punishment, art, psychogeography, somatic ritual, mutual aid, haunting, convivial practice and anti-colonial worldmaking
