Racism & Social Justice (1.0 Social Science Credit)
​​FEE: $95
Both components may be completed simultaneously 

COMPONENT ONE: Police Brutality in the US
​INSTRUCTOR: Teach Out Team
SPONSOR-HOST: University of Michigan, via Coursera
DURATION: Paced for 5 weeks (You may work ahead or take longer)
DESCRIPTION: ​  The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked a wave of renewed protests against police brutality across the United States. These nationwide uprisings have transformed into an intense interest from the public around understanding systemic racism and abuse of power. Millions of Americans and people around the world are watching incidents of police violence and excessive force captured on video, but are looking to learn about the inequalities at the root of these incidents. While the calls of Black Lives Matter protesters to #DefundThePolice are being heard for the first time by many Americans, they are part of a longstanding effort by communities and activists to reinvest in communities rather than policing and prisons. In this course, you will learn about the history of police violence in America, become aware of laws and policies that prevent accountability, understand the demands of protesters, and gain the knowledge and tools to fight for change locally. The content for this Community Awareness course is adapted from a Teach-Out launched in July of 2020 from experts from across the United States involved in activism, social work, law, government, and higher education.

COMPONENT TWO: Analyzing the Black Lives Matter
​INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Tristan Cabello
SPONSOR-HOST: John Hopkins University, via Coursera
DURATION: Paced for 4 weeks (You may work ahead or take longer)
DESCRIPTION: ​ The #BlackLivesMatter movement is the most significant political movement in African American life in the United States in the last fifty years. BLM leaders denounced anti-black racism, white supremacy, and police brutality and reshaped how we think about gender, sexuality, social justice, economic injustice, and crime. The movement is grounded in a long history of African American activism. From slave revolts to the Black Panther Party, from the founding of the Congressional Black Caucus, to the eruption of the #BLM Movements, this course is an interdisciplinary and historical exploration of the BlackLivesMatter movement.
