Understanding & Moving Beyond the Current Prison Crisis

Hip Hop, Spoken Word and Liberation (October 2017)
$189.00

Do you have deep concerns about our social, political, economic realities? Do you want to develop your perspective beyond reactionary opinions, and be more informed than media pundits and the trolls online? You aren’t alone in these turbulent times. Together, we’ll take a critical look at society, and find our voices through creative writing, an examination of history, Hip Hop culture and dialogue.

A Moment of Possibility
 

Donald Trump's election brings us to a moment of opportunity to better redress the widespread hurt in our society and to talk across our differences. In this course, we will aim to better understand the points of potential connection + tension that have surfaced in our politics and in our society. We will work towards a better understanding of the connections between ideology, the shifting landscape of the U.S. and politics, in order to help us offset the deleterious results of a combative, ugly election. Let’s turn lemons into a papaya tree.
