Description: From Ferguson to Guerrero, to Palestine to Hong Kong to the US/Mexico Border, youth are engaged on the frontlines of advancing social change. This seminar series will examine present-day youth leadership in some of the most pressing social justice issues of our time with a particular focus on intersectional movements led by marginalized peoples. Through guest speakers, spoken word, hip-hop, blogs, new media and documentaries, students will learn first-hand from other students and youth who are directly impacted by the social structures they are resisting. Students will develop skills to analyze tactics, strategies, and leadership structures of present-day youth activism while listening to and engaging with the voices of directly impacted youth.
