In this course, we collectively explore the historical and contemporary relationship between publishing and social change through both engaging with and creating our own media about social change. The goal of this course is for students to learn about historical examples of social change and the role publishing played in those historical moments, while also creating your own social-change-oriented zines and podcasts. 

Publishing and Social Change is a course consisting of weekly online learning materials and group discussions as well as weekly in-person workshops. During the workshops, we'll focus on making things together and building the skills you need for your final zine project and final podcast project. 

Assignments include:

• Participation in weekly in-person workshops
• Contributing to weekly online group discussions
• Creating a final zine, to be shared during an in-person zine fair
• Creating a final podcast episode, to be shared during an in-person podcast festival 
• Completing three learning self-reflections 

Additionally, graduate students enrolled in PUB648 will complete: 

• A reflective research essay to accompany their final zine 
• A reflective research essay to accompany their final podcast
