Description
This course examines the role that young people have and continue to play in making changes to urban communities throughout the United States. The aim of the course is to understand how youth activists worked within various social movements focused on economic, educational, racial, and gender inequities. We begin by framing what we mean by urban, youth, and activism and an exploration of student activist work in the area of racial and educational equity in the past. After, this the course transitions into into an analysis of a variety of individual youth activist and social movements led youth, with a particular focus on organized youth movements and the reasons why they have emerged. We look at causes such as Immigration Policies, Educational Inequity, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo movement, and the fight for the rights of Native Americans, as well as the role of social media and youth participation action research in activist organizing.
