Description:

Students examine how violence is remembered, or forgotten. Focusing on collective memory and public mourning, students explore “the politics of memory” in relation to various forms of violence against “Othered” populations. Historical and contemporary examples of violence may include: state violence against racialized populations; violence during war; human rights violations; interpersonal violence (such as sexual violence); collective violence (such as mob violence); and, “individual” violence (such as mass shootings). This course may be credited towards History.
