Panel: Literature and Social Activism

Collaboration, communication, and the language of debate used in
social activism are crucial to the success of any politicized movement
that attempts to shape public opinion. Social activism can be
expressed in a wide variety of forms; writing to newspapers, political
pressure on elected officials, demonstrations, rallies, street
marches, essays, proletarian novels, protest poetry, testimonials,
graffiti, and more radical guerilla tactics which aim to disrupt the
social, political, or economic status quo of the nation.
