New York University is launching a class on Occupy Wall Street this coming spring, Rita Solomon of the Washington Square News, reports.

The university's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis says the course will take a dive in the politics and history surrounding the movement.

Lisa Duggan, the professor of the course, told the paper, "Occupy Wall Street has done us all the service of illuminating [the fact] that the economy operates within the framework of political, social and cultural conflicts, and not outside them."

N.Y.U. has been close to the action in Zuccotti Park, and has seen protestors spill into its own backyard when they took to Washington Square Park. The park sits between a number of the university's dormitories, and academic and student life buildings.

Earlier this year, some of the movement took over part of the Stern School of Business.
