| Omschrijving | This seminar examines American laws, perspectives, histories, and cultures of life and death issues, such as abortion, gun violence, border deaths, natural disasters, the death penalty, and eugenics. We will examine a broad range of topics through film, music, poetry and prose, and multidisciplinary studies, emphasizing not just the either-or-ness of how such topics are often presented, but seeking unusual, conflicted, and changing perspectives on these topics. | ||||||||||||
