*GSST 154, Feminist Oral History: Insecurity*

Tues/Thurs, 12:30-1:50 PM CHASS INTS 1121
Professor Crystal Mun-hye Baik, Gender and Sexuality Studies

In GSST 154, students will explore feminist oral history and the resonance
of listening, feeling, and being heard. What does it mean to center deep
care, relationship-building, and embodiment in our listening and
interviewing work, especially during times of prolonged crisis? By attuning
to the different ways we listen to one another, how might we cultivate a
mutual sense of responsibility that acknowledges and honors, rather than
erases and assimilates, difference?

Given the ongoing effects of COVID-19, students will have the opportunity
to interview a friend, classmate, family member, and/or activist they know
about the ways the pandemic has amplified insecurity and violence in their
everyday lives. Throughout the quarter, we will hear from local activists
and feminist cultural organizers supporting mutual aid efforts on campus
and beyond, as well as feminist memory workers who struggle against
carceral violence and police brutality in their work. Guest speakers
include Daniel Lopez-Salas

<https://texasafterviolence.org/> (TAVP). As part of the course, all
participants will have the opportunity to partake in *Recipes of Resistance*,
an effort to document recipes – of healing foods, drinks, rituals, and
practices – that counter insecurity and support embodied, communal, and
collective grounding.  As a form of reciprocity, all submitted recipes will
be collected and offered as a token of appreciation to participants.

*About this course:* The materials created in this course are a part of the
ongoing project, *Inland Empire (IE) Activisms: A Participatory Memory
Archive*. Initiated in 2019 just before the start of the pandemic, *IE
Activisms* focuses on histories of insecurity, violence, and activisms
across Riverside and the Inland Empire. The course focuses on activists,
peoples, and communities disproportionately impacted by racial and
environmental justice; anti-Black violence; carceral violence and police
brutality; immigrant detention and deportation; gender and sexual violence;
and HIV/AIDS.
