During the Campus Tech Connection (#CTCX) Show No. 60, we starting to discuss how technology has impacted social justice on our college and university campus – and beyond. Social activism is an intentional action with the goal of bringing about social change. An activist is anyone who is fighting for change in society – such as a rally against tuition increase, fighting against international human rights abuses, or educating others about a social issue. The question is – what happens when technology is interwoven into these actions for change? Is liking a Facebook page enough? How can a tweet really start a revolution? Are our students really engaged in activism by using their mobile device? Listen to the broadcast from Friday, May 25th as @BruceBMann, @Kathy_Petras & @JulieCLarsen share their ideas, thoughts, concerns and more about the topic of technology & social activism.
