Kandyce Anderson Amie290A: Topics:Bodies, Education, and Society
This course will explore the relationship between bodies, schooling, and society. Drawing on literature exploring the cultural politics of emotion, naming, perception, and resistance in the lives and bodies of individuals and communities, we ask what ways schooling shapes the body and how bodies shape schooling. This course reconsiders the limits and possibilities of education.

Derek Ford290A: Topics: Art, Politics, and Education: The Sensations of Struggle
What might be the relationships between art, politics, and education? What makes art political or educational? What exactly are art, politics, and education? In this course, we'll collectively study these questions within the framework of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, and racism and in the context of struggles against these various systems. To do so, we'll examine each as economic, social, and political systems and as educational and aesthetic orders. In other words, we'll study how they're reinforced or challenged based on what and how we do--and don't--sense ourselves, others, and the world, and imagine other ways of sensing. As it turns out, these systems aren't merely "ideas" but are ideologies, or collective "sensual orders" in which certain things, well, just make sense.
