Global Justice Activism at Pitt: An Intergenerational Roundtable and Pedagogy Workshop

The University of Pittsburgh has a long tradition of activism for global justice by students who seek to raise awareness, engage communities, and advocate for change at the university and in the United States. To showcase that history, we are bringing together student activists across generations for a dialogue, including those who demonstrated against the war in Vietnam in the 1970s, South African apartheid in the 1980s, and those advocating for divestment from Israel today.
The goal of this event is to share insights and strategies for fostering generative and constructive classroom experiences related to student activism. How can instructors support student activists? How can instructors help student activists teach and learn about global history outside of traditional classroom boundaries? How can instructors effectively and responsibly teach the history of global justice activism in their classrooms?
