From FM Waves to Activism: Storytelling of Latino Voices through Community Radio
Offered: M/W 2:40pm – 4:10 mp Autim Quarter
This course explores the relationship between community radio and Latino migrant communities in Chicago, focusing on radio as a platform for social justice. It examines how community radio amplifies Latino narratives, fosters empowerment, and addresses issues like immigration, labor rights, and healthcare access. With our community partner, Lumpen Radio, students in this class will be guided in scriptwriting, interviewing, editing, and post-production of community audio portraits for radio broadcast.
As a community radio station launched in 2016 in Bridgeport, Chicago, Lumpen Radio strives to amplify diverse voices and engage with local issues. The course includes field trips to Lumpen Radio and ends with a live broadcast event.
