PEDAGOGICAL DESIGN

#SoJustCities Saturday School on Cities

#SaturdaySchool started as a weekly hashtag chat about academics and rights-based issues — but it’s more than that. It’s an idea about protesting misinformation that is funded by corporate media and perpetuated by ignorance. #SaturdaySchool is a weekly digital teach-in intended to cross social media platforms.  “Saturday School on Cities_#SoJustCities (with Images, Tweets) · jchambliss1,” Storify, September 16, 2017, https://storify.com/jchambliss1/sojustcities-59bda29655fd8a13bbaa600e.
