IDSD 142 : Black Lives Matter

Explores several philosophical questions that are intimately connected to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. What, for instance, does it mean for a life to matter? What is the point of political protest? Is racism a permanent phenomenon? If so, how should the #BlackLivesMatter movement adjust its activities? Given U.S. racism, are Black Americans obligated to obey the criminal law? What should Black Americans demand from the U.S. government?
