Dancing in the Student Center http://www.pikore.com/ucarising By promoting the event online using Twitter, Instagram, and the One Billion Rising website, students were able to advertise and post participation in real time. This way, they not only reached students from UCA in the Student Center, but people all over the world who are part of the One Billion Rising Campaign.
Bringing it Back to the Classroom My Upper Division Students: Reflected on the data they collected for the bookmarks. Related violence, psych care, and gender data to the complex history of hysteria. My Lower Division Students: Most of their work came after the event. I have included their assignment sheet. They connected the experience and the data with specific course readings.
