Social Movements and Social Media provides a critical survey of innovative social movements and their complex relationships to social media technologies. Spanning a wide variety of movements, the course will examine the evolution from pre-social-media to present-day mobilizing strategies and the interplay between explicitly policy- and advocacy-focused approaches and related efforts rooted in music, visual arts, popular culture, and celebrities. The course will place into comparative relief the discourses of explicitly racially- or ethnically-defined movements and movements that mobilize based on other, sometimes overlapping categories of analysis including class, immigration status, gender identity, disability, and occupational category. From the Freedom Movements of the 1960’s to the modern-day Tea Party mobilization, the course will consider the organizational structures and cultural context of change, from church pews to hashtag activism and clicktivism.
