I teach it every semester.
Confirmed for Summer Institute-dropped out day 1, Summer Institute!
To better develop my pedagogy around campaign building so students have a clear methodology. I'm excited to be part of a larger conversation around how to teach in this manner (social action model).
I haven't! But I teach in Abolition Studies and in the Fall, I facilitate a film festival with films by incarcerated/formerly incarcerated people and in the Spring, I facilitate a conference around abolition and abolitionist prison reform (led by formerly incarcerated people). I would love to learn how to make the teaching around building these campaigns more concrete to students and enable greater reflexivity for them. Also I want to facilitate students building their own campaigns and reflecting on them.
Prison/Police Abolition, Anti-Racist Action, Environmental Justice, Housing Justice, Anti-capitalist movements, Queer/Trans Liberation, feminism, etc.
How did you hear about opportunity
I got an email about it!
Type of Community Engagement
Social Action
How can I make movement building more transparent to students? How can I build in reflection (both personal and in group settings)? Are there any texts that are recommended?
- Abolitionist praxis
- Movement building
- Research methodologies (Participant Action Research, GIS mapping, Critical Ethnography/Autoethnography)
- Social action model
- Ethical research and action for social transformation
- Community engagement (Prison/Police Abolition, Anti-Racist Action, Environmental Justice, Housing Justice, Anti-capitalist movements, Queer/Trans Liberation, feminism)
The course focuses on abolitionist praxis, engaging students in movement building and reflection through methodologies like Participant Action Research and Critical Ethnography. The aim is to equip students with tools for ethical research and social transformation, while fostering a clear methodology for campaign building in social action contexts.
