The examination of the iscourses of ordinary people reveals ow their words and ideas affect the olitical sphere and shape our views of what is possible.

social movements. Through her research, she has tracked how movements since the late 20th century have used blogs and social media to create spaces for self- articulation, frame messages to the wider world, and spur individuals to action.

Woodly is quick to note that social media is not a panacea, but it has been a useful tool for movements savvy enough to realize that it is a dynamic means of communication rather than a substitute for old-fashioned face-to-face organizing. Ultimately, Woodly wants her work to help people understand how powerful they are and how to use that power to do good. Unfamiliarize yourself.

discussing the most important issues of the day. In 1919, they founded The New School for Social Research. Now formally named The New School, the university has grown to include five colleges, with courses that reflect the founders’ interest in the emerging social sciences, international affairs, liberal arts, history, and philosophy, as well as art, design, management, and performing arts.

Over the decades, some of the finest minds of the 20th century have pioneered courses in new areas of social sciences and liberal arts at The New School. Faculty members and visiting scholars have included Harold Laski, Franz Boas, and John Maynard Keynes. In 1948, W.E.B. Du Bois taught the first course in AfricanAmerican history and culture ever taught at a university. Around the same time, Karen Horney and Erich Fromm introduced their new approaches to psychoanalysis. From 1954 to 1978, Margaret Mead taught courses in anthropology. The New School’s groundbreaking courses attracted students from around the world, including the young Shimon Peres. In 1962, Gerda Lerner offered the first university-level course in women’s history.
