ENGLISH 111-DL : Writing Seminar II: Social Protest
Description
From civil rights and black power movements to women’s
liberation and gay rights activism, Americans have participated in
social movements to protest precarious conditions and achieve a
more livable life. In this course, students will study documents
from The Declaration of Independence to the signs carried in the
#MarchForOurLives. Students will choose their own topics for the
three writing assignments and two presentations. This course will
introduce students to the study of social movements from a
rhetorical perspective. It will explore ways that social media has
transformed American political participation by democratizing
access to information, disrupting old models of power distribution,
and allowing for rapid, broad coalition building and immediate
moments of multimodal protest.
In this course students will read arguments critically, and write
arguments that are persuasive. Students will build upon what they
already know about rhetoric, call upon productive ideas from what
they are learning about the world, and bring it together to frame a
discussion about current topics. Students will also build upon
their ability to enter the context of academic research and
argumentation.
The course is conducted completely online. It will be asynchronous;
students can participate in discussions and complete assignments by
working at their own pace, as long as deadlines are met. A
technology fee will be added to tuition.
Note: This course is limited to School of Professional Studies
students only. Undergraduate students in other schools at
Northwestern are not permitted to enroll in this course.
