The Humanities for Just Communities initiative will offer the following courses for Fall 2022!
All of these courses will include a project that makes an intervention in the year's social justice theme (health justice), and students in these courses will present their project to the broader Oxy community in the Spring showcase!
A course centered around the question: How can we be "well" when the world is beset by the existential issue of climate change?

A course that examines how well-being, health, and illness are represented through the study and creation of animated cinematic media and storytelling.
An FYS course on how to conceptualize health justice and what justice looks like within various aspects of healthcare.
