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.

Students will examine social, political, and cultural trends associated with this time period. Students will identify characteristics of the "ambitious
generation" and compare these traits to previous generations to determine what traits, if any, are still prevalent today. Music studied will
include: teen-pop, dance, hip-hop, grunge, R&B, funk, electronic, etc. Social/cultural topics include but are not limited to: melding of African
American and Caucasian cultures through hip-hop, the use of MTV's "Rock the Vote" to increase youth voting and the impact of this on future
