Activists and activism have long been a part of the struggle for peace and justice in American politics and society. Activists have fought battles for civil rights, voter enfranchisement, collective bargaining, and an end to wars. The Activists brings to life the stories of ordinary people who tried to stop and end the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, democracy requires more than just one vote every four years. It requires continued pressure by citizens on their government.

New Humanities, Health, and Medicine Minor
This minor engages students in an interdisciplinary curriculum that applies the methods, perspectives, and insights, of the arts and humanities to health and medical education as well as practice. Through an exploration of human health and medicine using the interdisciplinary questions and research methods of literacy and cultural studies, as well as the arts, philosophy, communication, and history, the minor aims to develop and nurture skills such as empathy, ethical understanding, socio-cultural analysis, self-reflection, and an appreciation of diversity and inclusion that are essential for humane and effective medical care as well as sound health policy. This minor is open to all undergraduate students on campus, regardless or major.
