Our July 16th topic is about integrating social justice in an educational setting, with a focus on peer education. We're going to use Summer Welcome as a case study. It would be great if everyone could attend either Revue or the Wellness Skits before that meeting. They both go until July 8th. When watching these, keep in mind that the intended audience is incoming freshmen.
Revue: Sunday-Thursday, 8pm in Jesse Aud – Mainly entertainment, but they also share a little about Mizzou traditions and campus life. Put on by the Summer Welcome Leaders.
Wellness Skits: Sunday-Thursday 1pm in Conservation Aud - Intended to be educational, focusing on wellness issues (alcohol, tobacco, body image, etc). Put on by campus peer educator groups.
Social Justice is not the primary goal of either, but both include things that are positive and problematic from a social justice stand point.
Things to think about while watching Revue or Skits:
1. Do they achieve their primary goal (education on campus life or wellness)?
2. How effective are they at keeping the attention of the audience? How effective are they at communicating the information in an engaging way?
3. For those of you who have seen revue/skits in the past, what changes have you noticed?
4. What stood out a positive step towards social justice? What was problematic?
5. What effect do you think skits or revue would have on the incoming freshmen who attended summer welcome?
