Through the Eyes of the Bystander: Breaking Perceptions of Oppression

Description: Seminar, one hour. Oppression is a term invoked to represent ultimate form of injustice on set peoples. There is much media revolving around ideas of oppression, from vigilante and superhero movies to historical analyses of past events. These mainstream perceptions of oppression open our eyes to ideas of oppression. In other ways, they reduce and simplify oppression to specific events, genres, peoples, etc. In this process of reduction, stories of oppression can be lost. Mechanisms of oppression; psychologies of oppressors; oppressed, and bystanders, current forms of oppression; constructions of identity and how they relate to oppression and unconscious bias. P/NP grading. Facilitated by Mahnoor Saleem, with Christopher M. Mott as faculty mentor.
