SO3 Social Movements and Collective Action in the Internet Age
Lecture 5: Assignment Workshop
Portfolio:
1. Individual Pecha Kucha presentation [6 minutes 40 seconds] Note: there is
no 10% leeway on the presentation
2. Supporting document [1,000 words +/-10%]
3. Reference list
Brief:
Choose ONE recent or contemporary social movement campaign. Produce a
Pecha Kucha presentation that analyses and critically assesses its history,
context, membership, and tactics. To support your Pecha Kucha you must
also develop a 1,000 supporting document that briefs the reader on the
broader movement context of this campaign. Your supporting document
enables you to include more detailed information that you may not have
time or scope to cover in your Pecha Kucha but which you believe is integral
to understanding the campaign you are assessing. It is also the place to
provide full references for your application of theories and concepts.
As a portfolio, these elements will be marked holistically to give a single overall
grade
Pecha Kucha
20 slides, 20 seconds each
Slides progress automatically
Develop a theme over 20 slides
A title page with name and name of the campaign
Can use limited text elsewhere: a single title, phrase, or question
per slide
Social movement activism is very image friendly
Avoid standard templates, white backgrounds, fancy slide
transitions, stock images
Storyboarding approach
Supporting Document (1000 words)
Can use pictures and diagrams
Can be an essay that develops arguments and adds information
