FYS 108K SINGING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

The course focuses on advocacy for Women's Rights, Human Rights, and the LGBTQ community. Other topics include the South African Anti-Apartheid Movement, the American Civil Rights Movement, the Baltic Singing Revolution, the Holocaust, and current issues of war, environmental consciousness, terrorism, racial inequality, and refugee deportation.
