Decal

History of Free Speech at Berkeley DeCal

Founded in 2018, this DeCal explores the rich history of discourse, activism, and political movements at UC Berkeley, all of which are particularly relevant to campus today. This includes discussions on topics central to Berkeley culture such as the Free Speech Movement, the 2022 UC-UAW Strike, the origins of the ASUC, People’s Park, and more.

This 1 unit class encourages students to engage with campus history as well as to attend a variety of Forum events throughout the semester. Through discussion, reflection, and engaging with a diverse range of speakers, the Free Speech DeCal offers students a unique insight into the past, present, and future of UC Berkeley.

Given that this is a discussion-based class, we are looking for engaged and thoughtful students. Applications are due Wednesday, January 31st, at 11:59 pm.
