Social Justice Event Write Up

In the syllabus it explains that you have to attend some kind of social justice event this semester and write it up as an assignment on your blog (15% of your course grade). Many of you will attend the Promising Practices conference, others of you are doing some work with Occupy Providence or the WMST film events on campus. For any of these events, you need to create a blog post (due Nov. 11 by midnight) that meets the following three criteria:

1) Describe the event(s) in detail. Your post should be no fewer than 750 word but may be much longer if needed.

2) Make connections to three course readings and themes to help you analyze the events. What does this event have to do with feminist practice in 2011?

3) Include pictures and links to at least three external web resources to help explain the meaning of this event.
