Abstract
The CASEP English 102 panel focuses on sharing works and ideas tied to the CAS Human Rights-themed semester. CASEP ENGLISH 102 explores themes tied to dignity and respect of a person's right to health care, safe work conditions, transparency and access to resources. Texts analyzed in this course include The Normal Heart, A Silent Fury: The El Bordo Mine Fire, Fish-ins and black/native solidarity in the 1960s and other various literature. In our reading, writing, researching, and discussing, we aim to think about how to change the world for the better. Looking back on the past and addressing lessons learned informs people, shapes policies, and can force change. The presentation will consist of 3-5 panelists who will be members of the CASEP Spring 2026 English 102.
