CORE 002 SC - Riotous Americans: Los Angeles and the Poetics of Unrest

This course focuses on three Los Angeles riots (“Zoot Suit,” Watts, Rodney King) with an eye towards understanding them as complex and multilayered “histories of the present.” By focusing on “riots,” we will explore how our built environments continue to produce and reproduce differential structures of class, race, gender, and citizenship.

Instructor: W. Liu, R. Roberts
