Inspire to Action: What Motivates Us to Take Up a Cause, Follow a Leader, or Create Change?

Students in the COM 300 Organizational Communication fall 2018 course will screen short documentary films that explore a social movement and a particular organization that has formed in response to the movement. For instance, a film may explore the Black Lives Matter movement by examining the use of #blacklivesmatter as a tool for organizing. Documentaries will focus on exploring the concept of organizing as a verb and emphasize how organizations are created through communication.
