New Media Advocacy ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

New Media Advocacy is a hands-on production course in which students will learn how to create and utilize new media (audio, video, social media platforms) for social justice movements and advocacy efforts. Over the course of the semester we will investigate the power of storytelling and how new media can assist in community driven campaigns to connect and involve the public in movements for change. How can visual arts be creatively used to share resources, disseminate information, and encourage public engagement?
