This semester, Emily Joan Elliott’s ISS 210 course on social movements is partnering with Lab for Education in and Advancement of Digital Research (LEADR), run by Gillian MacDonald. Over the course of the semester, a LEADR assistant, Jada Gannaway, will visit Emily’s 200-student lecture to teach the students how to use Voyant, Timeline JS, andCanva. Students will use these tools to create digital media kits that address a specific social movement assigned to their recitation section. In several cases, recitation sections will directly support local, community-based organizations by developing informational pamphlets and interactive timelines of the organization’s history.
