#BlackLivesMatter: Critical Perspectives

Discussion

Every week professors and students used the discussion board as a platform to share various issues related to #blacklivesmatter. Images, articles, and other relevant texts were posted throughout the semester to spark conversation and encourage students to think critically about what #BLM represents beyond a social media tag.

 
Week 1: Introduction: #BLM: Demands, Black Rage, and State of the Movement; #BLM to Everyone – Global to Local; Local to Self
Week 2: Critical Race Theory and Whiteness Studies
Week 4: Critical Discourse Analysis and Black Twitter
Week 8: #BLM and Hip Hop
Week 9: #SayHerName: Black Women, Sexuality, Intersectionality, and Black Feminist Critique/Mystique
 

*not every weekly discussion resulted in a post or thread of comments*
