COM 515: Persuasion in Social Movements

Participants will explore rhetorical theory and methods used in the study of a diverse set of social movements. The class is generally organized around how to study movements, instead of a deep dive into specific social movements; however, we will undoubtedly address BLM, Civil Rights Movements of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, women’s movements in early American history as well as contemporarily, transnational social movements like the Arab Spring, etc.
