Summary

In this course, students will become familiar with the foundational texts of community and liberation psychology. We will read and discuss Latin American origins of Liberation Psychology using texts written by Ignacio Martin Baró, Paulo Freire and others, as well as the foundational decolonial texts that emerged from continental Europe such as ones written by Franz Fanon. We will then read feminist expansions of liberation theology by studying texts written by Lilian Comas Diaz, Geraldine Moane, and Brinton Lykes. This course will examine the theoretical and practical aspects of the relational, and cultural dynamics within communities. Students will develop decolonial feminist analytical muscles.
