I DISSENT: RBG and the Intersection of Art + Activism
This course is an engaging overview of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's most famous dissents and their applicability in regard to the current events of the Voting Rights Act, Equal Pay, Roe v. Wade and Dobbs, and more. After a broad overview of the caselaw, students conclude the course by creating a piece of art, using a medium of their choice.
My installation to the left, “Without Rest” was featured by the Fund For Women’s Equality. Learn more about it here.
During Fall 2022, I had a wonderful opportunity to teach about Justice Ginsburg in-person at Central Oregon Community College in Bend, Oregon.
The students taking this course were a truly incredible group.
Take a look at some of their final projects below. Mediums included spoken word, stained glass, knitting, and assemblage.
