About

This course focuses on the efficacy of using the arts to address issues within our society. The students will examine produced works of representative 20th and 21st century playwrights, which address violence aganist women, gender inequality, homophobia, racism, trauma of war, Nativism, religious discrimination, and other injustices within our society. We will analyze the techniques used by the playwrights, and how-or whether-these techniques inspire audiences to effect change. (Traditional - Project)

Hello, just checking in! Many of you guys have not signed the service waiver, and it is required before you start serving here is the link https://gwserves.givepulse.com/survey/take/wq9uJGH00MH7Ju7oCCVe it should take less than 2 minutes! I also noticed there isn't a lot of impacts if you are having trouble finding places to serve feel free to reach out to me at aemebte@gwu.edu so I can connect you to different organizations. Don't wait until the last minute to create your impacts because they need time to be verified. If you have any trouble with logging your impacts let me know. Have a great rest of your week!
Hi it was great to meet you a few weeks ago-now that the semester is underway you should be serving and reporting your hours. Here's supports to do just that. Please remember to submit your hours by clicking on your organization first then click the box for your class!

1. Before you serve-be sure to fill out the service waiver here so far only 10 people in the class have completed this. Takes only a few seconds but it’s important to be safe while serving! The link is here https://gwserves.givepulse.com/survey/take/wq9uJGH00MH7Ju7oCCVe
