GWS 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Mutual Aid4 credits (Spring)
“Mutual aid” refers to traditions of progressive caretaking and political participation, wherein communities take responsibility for providing basic needs, recognizing that dominant institutions do not meaningfully support marginalized groups. We’ll survey mutual aid historically and today: progenitors like the Black Panthers; queer and feminist initiatives like the women’s health movement, HIV/AIDS services; and COVID-19-driven networks. This class also has a practical component: alongside scholarship, students will also participate in mutual aid work throughout the term.
Prerequisite: GWS 111 and one 200 or 300-level GWS course.
Instructor: Lewis
