The Green Machine, College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), College of Visual and
Performing Arts (CVPA), and School of Business will work together to create a new Mason
Impact course module entitled, The Activist-Artist: Art as an Engine of Social Justice. This is a
year-long project-based learning opportunity for students from across George Mason University
(GMU). While working through this course module, students will be asked to investigate an
issue of significance to society such as systemic inequalities, the consequences of racial or
gender biases, or environmental degradation. Each year a meaningful research question will be
devised with student input that will contribute to a related field of study. In addition to rigorous
research into the question at hand, students will construct their own understanding of how
knowledge is created and how they can use art to communicate that knowledge to others.
Academic study will inform experiential learning as students collectively design, manage, and
produce a work of art that will confront the power structure they intend to influence or dismantle.
