AMERICAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION FREEDOM COURSES
These facilitated conversations among organizers, activists, scholars, elders, artists, students, teachers, and others will address topics related to the 2020 theme of "Creativity within Revolt," as well as issues related to the unfolding crises, insurgency, movement, and abolitionist struggle.
They will be useful for classroom teaching (K-12/college and beyond), community-building, organizing, political education, and kitchen table discussions during this time of profound vulnerability.
We also hope colleagues will use Freedom Courses as tools for remote/distance teaching, if for no other reason than to give themselves brief respite from the unexpected work of lecturing to their virtual classrooms.
