Social Movements to Pick From

You can pick any movement, not just these. The links here are to academic sources that will give some details and analysis and suggest a place to start as you look for texts produced and performed by your movement. Remember, you are not analyzing these articles. You are analyzing primary sources from the movements themselves. This is jus ta head start on your work for you.

You can pick other movements, as well. When you sign up in the comments, just be VERY specific so that people know what you are doing. Do not, for example, say "feminism." Well, that covers a lot of individual movements people could be analyzing.

Use the comments to sign up for movements. CHECK what other people signed up for. On the last assignment people didn't check and signed up for the same things.

You can use the "social movements" labels on the left side here to see how students last semester (all of whom did Black Lives Matter) worked with their data.
