53. Social justice through parody NWP Albert is an Economics teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing a lesson plan he created for students to engage with social issues through parody and activism by using some of the media examples he found on the By Any Media Necessary web resource. He talks about moving beyond concepts of supply and demand by infusing his economics classes with social justice themes that students are receptive to, and talks about how part of his course asks students to think about the implications of globalization on poverty. He explains his process of looking through media examples on the site that discuss social issues through parody, draws inspiration from a DREAMer video that speaks to healthcare for millions of undocumented immigrants, and talks about using these kinds of videos as a springboard to bring to light these and other social issues. Connecting it to his lesson plan, he will have students create a parody around a social issue they choose, helping them to think about what they can do with the current situation, spaces, and resources they have.

115. 10th graders in Watts NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here describing the neighborhood and community context that situates her lesson plan about vehicles of protest as a response to trauma. She starts by describing the everyday lived realities of her students, the disconnect between what the district requires them to read and learn in their classes, and how she has reframed canonical books to be more responsive to students who live in communities like Watts, and how this kind of lesson can be identified with everywhere. She uses Lord of the Flies as an example of how she reframed the book characters’ experiences to talk about trauma, violence, limited resources, and support and help seeking practices.

Protest songs and images NWP Kate is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher at Locke High School in the Watts area of South LA and member of the UCLA Writing Project, shown here discussing the lesson plan she created on different vehicles of protest as a response to trauma, drawing inspiration from examples of protest songs, spreadable image and hashtag campaigns, and internet memes. She talks about expanding on traditional notions of civic engagement so that students can engage peers and their communities in ways that are meaningful to them, and also discusses figuring out how to navigate privacy and safety when working with images or videos of her students, sharing various levels of “publicness” that can be achieved through creative lesson planning. At the end of this clip, Kate emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, modeling, and having students practice these kinds of civic engagement, so that they can develop their voices as well as strategies to advocate for themselves and their communities, and learn ways to participate civically.

Dorian Electra
"Especially in a time of economic recession, there's no more important time to actually understand economics than today. And it's not easy to understand a lot of competing theories about what happened with the economic crash, but it's really important to be educated. It's not always fun. So through using music and catchy music videos, which I just enjoy on their own, I wanted to share that with people."
-Dorian Electra, "Making Your Story" webinar
About
Dorian Electra is a young artist who is passionate about educating others about political and economic themes that are often complex (and maybe even a little boring!) in a fun and engaging way. She collaborates with fellow artists to create original songs and videos on topics like Supply and Demand and Austrian Economics.

One of her most popular videos is a love song to the economist, Friedrick Hayek. Dorian's most recent effort, in collaboration with the Moving Picture Institute (MPI), is a lesson on central banking in the U.S. and monetary expansion policies. It's called FA$T CA$H.

Watch all of Dorian's videos on her YouTube Channel, and learn more about her projects at her website.

Read about young libertarians like Dorian Electra and their take on politics in the digital age in Liana Gamber-Thompson's By Any Media Necessary chapter, Bypassing the Ballot Box.
