UNIV399Y: Youth Grassroots Leadership
From Ferguson to
Ayotzinapa, 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.
