    DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE https://uofa.ualberta.ca/political-science POLITICAL SCIENCE 444-544-SEM B2– THE POLITICS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE (Winter Term 2018) Instructor: Dr. Malinda S. Smith Time: Thursday, 12:30-3:20 pm Office: 10-23 Tory Building Class Location: 10-4 Tory Building Office Hours: Tues, 1:30-2:30PM, or by appointment Email: [email protected] Office: 780.492.5380 I. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES: Global Critical Race Theory explores conceptions of race, racialization and anti-racism from various perspectives in political and social theory, recognizing that such knowledge and understanding are important for making sense of the ambiguities and complexities of political life in modern settler colonial states. Although power and privilege in the polis long have been shaped by ideas about race and its intersections with, for example, gender, class, sexuality, and disabilities – the discipline of political science has not always been in the forefront of theoretical efforts to make sense of this fundamental aspect of the human condition. It is in this context that Critical Race Theory (CRT) emerged as an important body of scholarship first in law and later across the social sciences and humanities. Rather than one perspective or approach, CRT is a constellation of theoretical standpoints that self-consciously views the ‘race question’ and questions about race and intersectionality through a critical lens, posing new questions on the persistence if not magnification of race and the ‘colour line’ in the twenty-first century and an ostensibly post-racial and colour-blind era. This course guides students through anti- racism, intersectionality, settler colonial and the implications for a decolonial politics.

  • Hashtags for Change: Can Twitter Promote Social Progress in Saudi Arabia
    International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), 943–961 1932–8036/20140005 #Hashtags for Change: Can Twitter Promote Social Progress in Saudi Arabia IRFAN CHAUDHRY University of Alberta, Canada Since the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011, Twitter has proven to be a useful mobilization tool for citizens. The power of Twitter to mobilize citizens (as seen in the Arab Spring) worries some governments. In response, a number of countries have begun to censor access to Internet technology. The Saudi monarchy, for example, issued a decree banning the reporting of news that contradicts sharia (Islamic) law, undermines national security, promotes foreign interests, or slanders religious leaders. A key question requiring further examination is why the Saudi government issued this decree. Are these controls in place to manage the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s political image on a global level, or are they in place to regulate the morality of its citizens at the local level? Drawing upon the work of Manuel Castells and his discussion of network power, this article asks: Can Twitter usage promote social progress in Saudi Arabia? Keywords: Saudi Arabia, Twitter, communication technology, social progress, gender, #Women2Drive Since the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011, social media has proven to be a useful mobilization tool for citizens to protest perceived injustices. In the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions, the microblogging site Twitter emerged as a key source for real-time logistical coordination, information, information sharing, and discussion (Lotan et al., 2011). Twitter helps you “helps you create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers” (About Twitter, 2013). Twitter’s global nature and ability to connect people anywhere in the world through hashtags and retweets1 make it possible for people to share information on topics as mundane as what to cook for this evening’s dinner to something as spectacular as the fall of an authoritarian government regime.

Cox, Professor, Library and Information Science ii Copyright © by James King 2018 iii THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: ARCHIVAL APPROACHES TO CIVIL RIGHTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH James King, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 When police and counter-protesters broke up the first march of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) in August 1968, activists sang the African American spiritual, “We Shall Overcome” before disbanding. The spiritual, so closely associated with the earlier civil rights struggle in the United States, was indicative of the historical and material links shared by the movements in Northern Ireland and the American South. While these bonds have been well documented within history and media studies, the relationship between these regions’ archived materials and contemporary struggles remains largely unexplored. While some artifacts from the movements—along with the oral histories and other materials that came later—remained firmly ensconced within the archive, others have been digitally reformatted or otherwise repurposed for a range of educational, judicial, and social projects.
