This course explores how activists create campaigns, tell stories, and build communities. We’ll explore multiple movements, such as #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo, climate justice, and queer/trans organizing, to examine how digital tools can spark social change and where they fall short. Along the way, you’ll get to experiment with making your projects. By the end of the course, you’ll have both the skills to analyze digital activism and the hands-on practice. Topics courses are 2 or 4 credit, in-depth, thematic courses that may be repeated for credit under a different theme. May be repeated up to two times for a maximum of 12 credits.
