Instruction
In this paper, you will need to demonstrate all of the following:
An understanding of the systemic and institutional nature of oppression;
An understanding of the histories and issues of social identities/social locations of the dominant and subordinate groups that are involved in a form of oppression;
An historical analysis of how and why the social movement emerged;
An understanding of how the social movement participants understood the workings of the form(s) of oppression that they sought to challenge;
An understanding of the activities of the social movement, its participants, visions, and strategies;
An understanding of whether the social movement addressed more than one form of oppression, and if so, how the movement saw the connections between the forms of oppression. If the movement only addressed one form of oppression, what is your analysis of why this happened;
An understanding of what the social movement achieved specifically and what still has yet to be achieved regarding the ending of oppression
For this project, you should use course readings and outside sources (books, articles, or videos) to frame your analysis of the overarching institutional dynamics of the form(s) of oppression that the movement addresses/addressed, and to learn about, place in historical context, and analyze the social movement that you are working with. You should use about 7-10 sources and at least 3 of these must be peer-reviewed journal articles.
