Public School Activism & Movements & the University Campus: The TFA Debate

Assignment #6: Analyzing strategy.

Social movement strategies: the (on-line) petition tied to a pledge for individual/institutional action (boycott/ban), circulated via Twitter.

A) Should university faculty take such positions?  (whether you agree or not)
B) Where does this strategy fit into wider repertoires of contention?
C) What are the moral, empirical and ideological foundations (the knowledge claims) that sustain this strategy and this position?
