CGLST 3500 Transnational Digital Activism
Can digital media transform the world of activism? How do “local” social justice activists use digital media to engage in “global” protest campaigns? How does transnational digital collaboration frame social justice at the intersection of race, gender, class, sexuality, nation, citizenship, and ethnicity? The course inquires how cross-border digital collaboration sustains or challenges unequal power relations and how grassroots activists use digital spaces to engage in anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist organizing with transnational allies.
