Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS

What are the roots of today’s sanctuary movements? And how are these practices similar to solidarity movements, past and present? This course locates contemporary sanctuary movements in a longer history of Central America sanctuary practices of the 1980s and Latinx solidarity struggles in the 1960s. By interrogating the meaning of sanctuary, solidarity and accompaniment and examining the conditions that enable Latinx struggles to be linked with those of Black, Native American, Muslim and queer activism, this course provides critical insight into the enduring practices and challenges of sanctuary, refuge and resistance in America. Field trips required.
