APS 286: Interviewing Warriors on Poverty This class is dedicated to gathering the stories of people who helped empower Appalachians during the War on Poverty in the 1960s. Students will be trained to conduct oral histories and, when at all possible, will travel to meet the people being interviewed. These interviews will be deposited in Berea s archives and will be used in publications as part of an action-research project with Dr. Green. The class will also conduct what Dr. Green calls archive dives to explore primary source material held in Berea s archives and others. Finally, students will help plan and undertake a public event to honor the work of the people interviewed and inspire Kentuckians today. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared the War on Poverty, in which Berea College played a major role in bringing the next step of economic justice to people in Appalachia. Fifty years later, the people who participated in that movement are now in their 80s, and too little about their work is known and too few of their achievements have been heralded. This class is about finding and helping those stories sing in the light of day to inspire people involved in SOAR (Shaping Our Appalachian Region, a program initiated by Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and Representative Hal Rogers) to empower people in our nation s most distressed Congressional District (Kentucky s 5th).

CSC/PSJ 136: Social Justice & Social Media From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and beyond, social movements increasingly draw on social media and the Internet. With platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, millions of people can become instantly aware of an injustice and begin to organize around it. Our topics include the role of social media platforms in making injustice visible, the connection between the Internet and face-to-face organizing, and social justice issues related to technology, such as the digital divide between the rich and poor, with Appalachia as an example. Students will also receive training in the most effective use of social media platforms, and the major class project will be the design and implementation of a social media/social justice campaign.
