Course Description

Every society has rebels - those who refuse to conform to the mainstream's rigid rules, aesthetics, and beliefs. In this course, students will learn what "subversive" and "dissident" mean in the world and in history, how their definitions and social positions change through time, how our own lives are influenced by the so-called subversive cultures of past generations, and how their actions drive social change. This course is cross-listed with THET289i.
