In this course we will cover a variety of topics, including the Frankfurt School and the New Left, environmentalism, feminism and gender studies, post-structuralism and postmodernism, postcolonialism, intersectionality, and how all of the above have paved the ground for CRT itself, which will be our focus in the last weeks. We will examine what all these ideas actually are, where they come from, what is their impact on the culture, and what are their strong points and shortcomings.
