In this section, you will identify the grassroots social justice movement that your interview participant was part of , SURJ (showing up for Racial Justice) and you will focus more broadly on the implications of the actions that took place. You will discuss the movement in three distinct sections:
As a resistance to the social problem/social inequality you identified
How does this movement go about stopping this injustice? What are the arguments opposed to this inequality? What are the strategies, tactics, and goals used by the movement to seek social change? Do you believe it will be effective? You should use peer-reviewed academic sources to help you respond to these questions.
As a prefiguration of new (presumably more just) social relations
What kind of world does this movement seek to bring about? If the movement is fully successful in their struggles how would society be organized? Don’t be constrained by “reality” here, try to see their argument through to the end. You should use peer-reviewed academic sources to help you respond to these questions.
What are the implications of this movement for current public policy?
Is there a role to play for the government? If so, what is it? Is the movement calling for a change to laws? A change to the government itself? A change in the democratic process? What does justice look like from a policy standpoint? You should use peer-reviewed academic sources to help you respond to these questions.
In this section you should draw on your research, information obtained from your movement (Internet, pamphlets, videos, field notes), academic sources, and other literature relevant to your topic. Remember this is an academic paper so all sources needed must be properly cited and major claims should be backed up by peer-reviewed academic sources.
Your assessment should include the use of key terms from the course, as well as academic sources (course texts, material from previous classes, external sources).
Please include a works cited page and use proper citations, according to Chicago or APA (American Psychological Association) style.
