Are regional social protest movements interrelated? Do they draw inspiration from one another globally? Explore resources and methods for teaching about various regions of the world through the lens of citizens' activism and protest movements. Topics include South African anti-apartheid and current human rights movements, social justice movements in Mexico, Arab Spring, Chinese pro-democracy demonstrations, anti-corruption demonstrations in India, Tibetan protests for human rights and independence, Post-Soviet 'color revolutions', immigrants' rights in the EU, the Global Occupy movement, youth activism and Holocaust and genocide resistance, plus artistic expressions of resistance, films, and demonstrations of local social justice activism through poetry and spoken word. Participants also will learn how to create simulation exercises to use for instruction in classes.
