This week’s featured syllabus is Deny, defend, depose, detain by Meesh Sara Fradkin.

As conversations around the inequities and predatory tactics of the U.S. healthcare and insurance industries boil over, Meesh’s syllabus cuts through the noise, forming a sprawling and incisive delineation of the interrelations between disability, science, medicine, war, genocide, capitalism, and technology. Structured by a series of foundational texts, including scholarship, criticism, and films, the syllabus guides us towards a Marxist comprehension of the world’s confounding violence, and pathways to liberation.
