RESISTING INJUSTICE
The subject matter, structure, and expectations for this seminar differ from the
norm; the seminar requires multiple short papers, working with other students in writing
and staging plays, regular attendance, and a long research A-paper for students receiving
A-paper credit or a 10-page final paper for other students. Students receiving A-paper
credit must submit a detailed outline of their final paper to the instructors by the middle
of the semester.
