Social Media for Social Justice Organizing

2017-04-11T21:04:35Z

Admin: /* Things to Consider */

=Introduction=
Media can be a powerful tool for any type of community and political organizing. In each era, the appropriate media will change depending on current technological tools and customs, whether it is the postcards and newsletters of the Suffragettes, or the digital social media of Standing Rock Sioux Reservation for #NoDAPL.

==Why Media?==
As theorists of cultural studies, art, and media have long discussed, media can be a powerful tool for communication.

For organizing purposes, media can be deployed for the following purposes:
*community building
*raising awareness
*education
*to control the narrative, or to counter dominant narratives
*to mobilize communities

===Things to Consider===
*Do you have a cohesive message? Does the community know what you stand for? Is your mission and activity reliable?
*Do you have identifiable and legible iconography, symbols, language? (i.e. branding?)
*Do you have a coordinated multi-pronged campaign? Does it all lead back to a single source of information?
*Is your content continuously up-to-date?
*Are you using media ethically? Are you being sensitive and respectful to the beliefs, customs, data of your community?

==About Whittierpedia==
The Whittierpedia is a collaborative, crowdsourced project of [[Whittier College]]'s [[Digital Liberal Arts]] program. Built on the open source [https://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] platform, and hosted on [http://www.reclaimhosting.com Reclaim Hosting], Whittierpedia is designed to facilitate in-class and out-of-class learning, as well as a site to build institutional memory. Although more academically and locally focused than the more familiar [https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], editors are encouraged to maintain a neutral tone, and to cite relevant sources through the use of academic resources such as books, lecture, and articles available on campus through the library and from your professors.

==About Whittier College==
[[Whittier College]] is a four-year residential liberal arts college that pushes students to question the world around them and figure out their place in it. Located in the heart of Southern California between bustling Los Angeles and beautiful Orange County, Whittier is distinguished by its small size, pioneering faculty, and nationally recognized curriculum. Facilities rival those at large public institutions, but ours is an intimate setting where students and professors unite in an ongoing pursuit of knowledge.

Since its founding in 1887, Whittier College has been a place of academic innovation, where a community of learners pushes past constraints and "measured" ways of doing things, embracing the bold and the cutting edge.

Here, students and professors alike reach across academic dividing lines to discover the interconnectedness of ideas.

As a result, students gain an intellectual grounding that will serve them throughout their lives—as scholars, professionals, and responsible world citizens.

==About Digital Liberal Arts==

Whittier’s [[Digital Liberal Arts]] Center (DigLibArts) is a collaborative initiative to enhance the liberal arts at Whittier College by empowering faculty, staff, librarians, and students to make full and better use of the digital technologies that are reshaping pedagogical approaches and transforming research throughout the liberal arts. The emerging center is designed to support and inspire faculty (by providing personal assistance, workshop training and stipends, and tools) to integrate digital technologies into their pedagogy and to foster the building of relationships with other liberal arts colleges developing similar initiatives.

==Get Involved==
This wiki is open to all members of Whittier College and the adjacent community. If you're a faculty member interested in teaching with Whittierpedia, please contact Anne Cong-Huyen. If you're a student, community member, or anyone else looking to get involved on your own you'll need to [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] and then check out our [[Get Started]] guide.

==About Whittierpedia==
The Whittierpedia is a collaborative, crowdsourced project of [[Whittier College]]'s [[Digital Liberal Arts]] program. Built on the open source [https://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] platform, and hosted on [http://www.reclaimhosting.com Reclaim Hosting], Whittierpedia is designed to facilitate in-class and out-of-class learning, as well as a site to build institutional memory. Although more academically and locally focused than the more familiar [https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], editors are encouraged to maintain a neutral tone, and to cite relevant sources through the use of academic resources such as books, lecture, and articles available on campus through the library and from your professors.

==About Whittier College==
[[Whittier College]] is a four-year residential liberal arts college that pushes students to question the world around them and figure out their place in it. Located in the heart of Southern California between bustling Los Angeles and beautiful Orange County, Whittier is distinguished by its small size, pioneering faculty, and nationally recognized curriculum. Facilities rival those at large public institutions, but ours is an intimate setting where students and professors unite in an ongoing pursuit of knowledge.

Since its founding in 1887, Whittier College has been a place of academic innovation, where a community of learners pushes past constraints and "measured" ways of doing things, embracing the bold and the cutting edge.

Here, students and professors alike reach across academic dividing lines to discover the interconnectedness of ideas.

As a result, students gain an intellectual grounding that will serve them throughout their lives—as scholars, professionals, and responsible world citizens.

==About Digital Liberal Arts==

Whittier’s [[Digital Liberal Arts]] Center (DigLibArts) is a collaborative initiative to enhance the liberal arts at Whittier College by empowering faculty, staff, librarians, and students to make full and better use of the digital technologies that are reshaping pedagogical approaches and transforming research throughout the liberal arts. The emerging center is designed to support and inspire faculty (by providing personal assistance, workshop training and stipends, and tools) to integrate digital technologies into their pedagogy and to foster the building of relationships with other liberal arts colleges developing similar initiatives.

==Get Involved==
This wiki is open to all members of Whittier College and the adjacent community. If you're a faculty member interested in teaching with Whittierpedia, please contact Anne Cong-Huyen. If you're a student, community member, or anyone else looking to get involved on your own you'll need to [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] and then check out our [[Get Started]] guide.

Globalization

Admin: /* See also */

Globalization is a set of interacting social, political, and economic processes that connect the world in new ways, yielding multifaceted changes in the way that connected people view themselves and global issues. <ref>Ott, Brian L., and Robert L. Mack. Critical Media Studies: An Introduction. Chichester, U.K.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010. Print.</ref>

==Background==
Many economists and politicians alike use the term "globalization" to refer to the creation of global economic markets. When these markets include cultural products, such as music, film, and television, their expansion raises fears of cultural imperialism. <ref>Ott, Brian L., and Robert L. Mack. Critical Media Studies: An Introduction. Chichester, U.K.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010.

Marxism

2017-02-08T03:06:48Z

Admin: Edits to disciplines /* Uses in other disciplines */

Marxism is a socioeconomic theory regarding the idea that society is about the class struggles between the working class (proletariat) and the upper class (bourgeois). The class struggle arises when the bourgeois take advantage of the proletariat's labor for their own materialistic gain. <ref> Ott. Brian and Robert Mack, ''Critical Media Studies: An Introduction'', (John Wiley & Sons, Inc 2014), Ch. 2(23-56).</ref>
[[File:Base-superstructure Dialectic.png|thumb|400px|right|Base-superstructure Dialectic]]
==Background==
Marxism is a term created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century. It is considered a materialistic ideology more than an idealist one since it conveys the idea that material values determine social existence rather than ideas. That being said since material values change over team, Marxism should be looked at in historical context. According to Marx's base/superstructure model that entails what society is made of, the economy (referring to labor, production, and distribution) lays the foundation for the cultural values of the social institutions: family, government, law, etc. According to Marx, a society based on a capitalist mode of production is exploitative, due to the creation of two classes; the working proletariat and the ruling bourgeois. Because the bourgeois owns and regulates all the modes of production the only commodity that the proletariat is left to sell is its labor. Thus, the ruling upper class exploits the labor of the working class to increase profit.

==Uses in other disciplines==
Marxism is important to the study of economics, world history, political science, and philosophy as it is offers a lens to examine the economic structures of many countries.

Theory

2017-02-08T02:53:56Z

Admin: /* Uses in other disciplines */

A way of explaining, seeing, and interpreting something; an explanatory tool that simultaneously enables and limits our understanding of the particular social product, practice, or process under investigation. <ref>Ott, Briany and Robert Mack, ''Chapter 2'', ''Critical Media Studies: An Introduction'' (John Wiley & Sons), 2014. </ref>

==Background==
Although the term theory can be used to describe many types of theories, its relation to the course simplifies the list. The book uses theories as a partial explanation to a phenomenon being studies.

==Uses in other disciplines==
Theories in general are used to give explanations to all sorts of phenomenons and problems. A famous theory for example is the big bang theory. The question of how was the earth created had many at odds of how. This theory came to fruition since there are evidences of a possible big bang, but it is just an explanation, not concrete. So, the term theory can and is used in different subjects and professions.
