ACTIVISM AND SOLIDARITY: #BLM AND THE INDIGENOUS AND QUEER COMMUNITIES

0.50 credits

In 2013, #BlackLivesMatter was founded following the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer. In Canada, #BLM chapters have built close ties with Indigenous and queer activists to work together to confront and challenge bigotry and colonization. This course will consider how Black, Indigenous, and queer activists create solidarity and pursue change.
