The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Communication Activism Pedagogy: A Roundtable Discussion

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

This panel examines the scholarship of teaching and learning associated with “communication activism pedagogy,” which teaches students (including those in sites beyond the classroom) how to intervene into dominant discourses that marginalize and oppress communities for the purpose of promoting social justice. Topics discussed include philosophies, related pedagogies, ethics, institutional structures that support and constrain, educational practices (e.g., course and curricular and extracurricular designs), and learning processes and outcomes associated with communication activism pedagogy, as well as principles and practices of studying and reporting such endeavors.
