Takin’ it to the Community Streets and University Seats: Promoting Social Justice through Communication Activism Research and Teaching
Given the specter of social injustice, with a long list of injustices affecting those who are
oppressed and marginalized, the need for scholars to use their theories, research methods, and pedagogical practices to engage in direct vigorous action to support needed social change has never been more apparent and important. This presentation explains a new perspective—communication activism—that highlights the unique and central role of communication in promoting social justice, explicates theoretical commitments and applied practices of this perspective, provides concrete examples of this research and pedagogy, and identifies lessons learned from that scholarship about being part of the solution.
