Social Media, Democracy and International Human Rights Mobilization
Description
The intersection of the arts, politics, and international activism has inspired creators, informed citizens, and motivated many social movements from democracy’s earliest days. This course investigates these diverse fields and activities. It aims to help students understand and constructively engage with authoritarian regimes’ harassment of human rights campaigners and democracy practitioners. It will also discuss recent online social movements that have captured the world’s imagination, including #ArabSpring; #BlackLivesMatter; #MeToo; #OccupyWallStreet, as well as actors like Anonymous. From this, this course attempts to empower Canadian creators and help citizens fight against rights abuses.
