Fall 2022 Spanish UN3365: Feminist Activisms: Genealogies, Spaces,

Section 001
Call Number: 12563 
Points: 3   View in Vergil
Day/Time: TR 11:40am-12:55pm 
Location: To be announced
Instructor: Nora Dominguez, Tinker Visiting Professor

Description: This course is designed to explore the massive and unprecedented radical Feminist activisms in the Latin America –mainly in the Southern Cone, Argentina and Chile- in the second decade of the twentieth century.  In order to account for the multiple and heterogeneous character of the movement we will study the emergence of this new activism, its actions, and the conversations they engage in with their predecessors. Current feminisms display an essential claim against the policies of neoliberal States. They are also known for creating a vast scope of ideas and vocabularies linked to new perspectives on violence, the body, resistance, or precarity, among others. The course analyzes the impact of space (streets, assemblies, university) in the action, intervention, and creation of feminist politics. It also looks at the discourses and texts written: manifestos, videos, posters, books, performances. Feminist aesthetic production is an inseparable aspect of these interventions and it will be an essential focus in all the topics discussed. The political and cultural transformations that feminist activisms pursue involve thinking new forms of subjectivation as part of collective politics. This course proposes various interdisciplinary approaches in order to encompass the multidimensional nature of this topic.

Description:  This seminar examines the causes and social dynamics of the phenomenon of forced disappearance in contemporary Mexico.  It is an engaged pedagogy course, meaning that the academic work we do will be conducted in conjunction with, and for the benefit of, collectives of families of the disappeared.  Specifically, our course is organized around collaborative research with two collectives, one in the Cuernavaca, Morelos ("Volviendo a Casa, Morelos") and one in the city of Puebla ("Voz de los desaparecidos").  We shall also be collaborating with the Universidad Iberoamericana-Puebla's Human Rights Program, and the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa's Proyecto sobre desaparición forzada, that have been accompanying the collectives of the families of the disappeared. In addition to background academic coursework on the subject, students will conduct social and legal conditions research that will assist the Morelos and Puebla collectives in their daily efforts to process their legal claims to gain government support in their efforts to find their loved ones, as well as in their independent efforts to make their plight socially visible, and to find their disappeared loved ones.

Fall 2022 Human Rights GU4920: Courts as Gatekeepers: The Two-Level Pol

Section 001
Call Number: 17702 
Points: 3   View in Vergil
Day/Time: M 4:10pm-6:00pm 
Location: To be announced
Notes: JOIN SSOL WAITLIST. PRTY HRSMA, 3&4YR CC/GS HUMR STUDS
Instructor: Caroline Silva

Description: This course focuses on the interaction of courts – domestic and international and the two-level politics that entails how domestic and international institutions deal with human rights law. Throughout the world, courts and official actors have been negotiating, resisting and backlashing not only human rights law but also each other’s decisions and this material reveals some of this resistance. Courts have been acting as “Gatekeepers” either facilitating or jeopardizing the implementation of human rights law and policies. The seminar will focus on the dialogue between domestic courts and the following human rights systems: European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights and African Court of Human Rights. In some regions of the world, where states have not accepted the jurisdiction of an international court, other examples on the interactions between state-level-courts and federal courts are offered. The first part of this seminar will expose some theoretical grounds on how courts – either domestic or international, or both – act as gatekeepers. This initial part utilizes theories of International Relations, Sociology and Socio-legal studies to explain these two-level interaction games between courts. The second part will examine a set of different human rights issues in which domestic courts act as gatekeepers resisting or renegotiating human rights decisions from international courts. The list of rights analyzed in this section is not comprehensive, but will provide a broader understanding of some of the key issues concerning the two-level politics of human rights. The selected themes focus indifferent regions of the world, and include the debate of core human rights issues, such as civil and political rights; economic and social rights; self-determination and indigenous rights, right to equality and non-discrimination; among others.
