WGSS 3640 - Protest and Social Activism I

3 hours
Prerequisites: A grade of “C-“ or better in WGSS 2100
What would make our communities better? How might the marginalized develop voices of their own? This course will address these questions in a variety of ways: we will engage theoretical perspectives concerning the rhetorical strategies of social protest historically and today; we will examine protest rhetoric as a vital and distinct area of public discourse, whose constraints are considerably different from those of traditional oratory, and, therefore, demand a unique theoretical toolset; we will explore both primary texts and theoretical critiques as we consider protest rhetoric as a distinct area of public discourse.
