PMA 1150
FWS: Performing Rights: Race, Class and Gender

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2019-2020.

Performance continues to serve as an effective laboratory for shaping and understanding our humanity. It offers itself as an embodied force for generating unique ideas and perspectives for evaluation, intervention and activism in our world. At a time when the reverence for human rights continues to decline in both democracies and autocracies, the recourse to performance to illuminate the sanctity of human rights cannot be overstated. Through an engagement of academic and creative resources (i.e. texts and films), this seminar situates the discourse of rights within the conceptual frameworks of race, class, gender, and performance. This course allows for a wide range of assignments designed to cultivate and deepen the analytical skills of students.
