Abstract
The Stimulating Sparks Through Student Storytelling of the #NOTAGAINSU Movement or 4.S. project is a digital storytelling campaign that centers the student organizers, participants, and supporters of the #NotAgainSU movement at Syracuse University from 2019 – 2021. It provides a historical account of the #NotAgainSU movement through the perspective of the students behind the Black-led on campus and virtual movements. The project takes root in Anti/Racist and Black Digital Rhetorics while aligning itself with Audre Lorde’s ‘erotic,’ bell hooks ‘passionate pedagogy,’ while being remixed with Freire’s formative musings about the importance of student experience within knowledge production. The 4.S. project then uses multimodal methodologies such as audio recordings, social media posts, and personal insights from the movement to examine the digital movement making strategies of student activists. The project will provide a historical account of the #NotAgainSU movement through the perspective of the students behind the Black-led on campus and virtual movements. This campaign will live on an all-encompassing website featuring video essays, audio recordings, text and data surrounding the student voices at the center of the movement. This project will also include a twenty-five-page booklet detailing the importance of student voice in university administration and policy decision making.
