CORE 003 SC - Politics of Commons & Commoning

This course will introduce students to the commons as a field of inquiry, politics, activism and culture. We will investigate the historical and accelerating processes of enclosure, encroachment, and exclusion in the US and globally. We will also engage with counter movements to reclaim and protect the commons. Some specific areas of focus will include land, intellectual property, education, culture, knowledge, and democracy.
