Introduction

This ebook features case studies of historical protest events across the globe with particular attention to gender and spatial analysis. Student authors in HIS 471: Politics of Protest and Gender” at Cleveland State University created each exhibit, using digital tools for mapping, timeline creation, image and recording curation, audio editing, and more. This course focuses on building transferable skills in digital humanities and will be a foundation for the Digital Humanities major being developed by the CSU History Department.

Each author will:

• focus on the relationships between gender and protest in various national and/or transnational contexts
• present a clear understanding of how this case study fits into related scholarship
• use digital methods to publish the project
