• Please share information about protest events you know of with the class. Send emails to Professor Su, who in turn will announce it to the class
• Alternatively, write a report on a long-term social movement by interviewing its activists and organizers. First-hand information is key here; that is, you cannot just write a report based on information gathered from Internet.
• Group work is encouraged. A group should not be more than three people.
• Length: 4 pages minimum, double space, if an individual project; 6 if a group project.
• Submit a clean hardcopy. For a group project, also submit an electronic version that used track-change history. It is used to assess each group member’s contribution to the writing process. The group may also hand in a short memo documenting other aspects of the cooperation.
