About<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhat is Social Justice?\u201d is a collaborative short film created by students in the Social Justice and the Arts program at Portland State University. Guided by professors Darrell Grant and Amanda Singer and filmmaker Allen Myers, the film weaves together community reflections, student artwork, and a collective poetic response to explore the layered meaning of social justice. <\/p>\n

From interviews with Portland community members to intimate glimpses of student art-making, the film moves from inquiry to expression. It asks not just for definitions, but for embodiment\u2014for the viewer to engage, reflect, and respond. <\/p>\n

Pedagogical value<\/h3>\n

What Is Social Justice? was created as part of a 10-week course at Portland State University titled Social Justice and the Arts. Rooted in critical pedagogy, the course invited students to explore the question \u201cWhat does social justice mean to you?\u201d through art, discussion, and community engagement. This film is the result of that collective inquiry. Blending documentary, poetry, and visual collage, the film weaves together students\u2019 responses, artwork, and original music into a layered and intimate reflection on justice, identity, and possibility. It functions as both a reflection of learning and a tool for teaching\u2014designed to prompt dialogue, artistic response, and personal storytelling. The pedagogical framework centers student voice and creative expression, encouraging participants to move beyond theory and engage emotionally and artistically with real-world issues. Weekly assignments included creative responses\u2014poetry, visual art, performance\u2014that were then shared, discussed, and, in many cases, integrated into the film. Though originally created within a university setting, the film has strong potential as a teaching tool in high school, university, and community-based workshops. It can be paused for discussion, used to spark reflective writing or group art-making, or serve as a prompt for collaborative projects. Its open structure and closing message\u2014\u201cThis film is one response. The next page is yours.\u201d\u2014invite viewers to participate and respond, making it well-suited for participatory learning environments. In short, this film is both a product and a process\u2014a way of seeing, feeling, and engaging with justice that can be adapted to diverse educational settings. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
