Social Movement picked from THE LAST 10 YEARS: Black Lives Matter

– The final paper must include references to at least TWO of the theories discussed in this class, as well as four other academic sources

          Quick Note: I’ll inform you of two theories to use in the paper

– This is an argumentative, thesis-driven essay. It is NOT A RESEARCH PAPER. That means you will need to MAKE AN ARGUMENT about how the subculture/social movement is performing resistance, and each paragraph in your essay should be an argument that connects back to that original thesis

Main Focuses of the paper include:

This is an analysis of HOW forms of oppression have been challenged through the resistance of collective movements and/or subcultures:

    1) An understanding of how the resistance confronts the systemic and institutional nature of oppression and resistance;

    2) An understanding of social identities/social locations of the dominant and subordinate groups that are involved in resistance;

    3) An analysis (use semiotics) of how the social movement/subculture participants understood/stand the forms of resistance they performed
