In this course, you will have the opportunity to explore social justice across a variety of written, visual, and digital forms. Not only will you gain insight into people’s desire to tell their stories, and how they tell them—but also take a critical look at who is permitted to speak, and how to listen and amplify voices historically silenced. Through the consideration of past activists and writers, which may include selections from Langston Hughes, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, and/or Martin Luther King, Jr., individual students will select a contemporary movement (e.g., Black Lives Matter) on which to focus their discussion and written work, which will culminate in a short video promotion. As a special topics in writing (“C”) course, one of the main learning objectives is engaging in the writing process to develop essays through discussion, drafting, and revision. Students will write discussion responses, which support the development of a research paper and opinion (blog) piece
