It can be difficult to decide when and how to invoke (often times politicized) notions of social equity in the classroom. This workshop will examine methods for finding, presenting, and engaging with social media as one critical site of contemporary social justice movements. As a group, we will work together to find strategies for incorporating such technologies in the classroom as a means to address issues of social justice and activism, in both large- and small-scale ways. We will also discuss ways to create learning environments that encourage open dialogue and mutual respect.
