FS 002 PZ -What is the Point?

Institution: Pitzer

Description: What is The Point? The Opening of the American Mind A decade ago, a group of students at the University of Chicago founded The Point, a new journal dedicated to robust and open conversation about contemporary political and social theory. Since then The Point has proved a remarkable guide to the at times unsettling dynamics that underlie everyday life in America. It provides perhaps the best collective account of the political meaning of The Teens the decade of both Barack Obama and Donald Trump and offers vibrant ways to understand our political present. With all this in mind, the course considers possible futures for our world through the lenses of the wide range of intellectuals who have written for The Point.
