5 minutes, 20 slides
Here's the write-up for the 5-minute Petcha-Kucha presentation I'm giving tonight at Social Justice Camp DC. I'll post a video if there is one. Otherwise, I'll record the narration and post on YouTube.
Found in Translation: Social Justice
Coming from the Government 2.0 and Health 2.0 communities, I wasn't really sure what Social Justice was. After a few conversations and web surfing, I realized it was a question I would have to answer for myself. In studying foreign languages, I've found that one tends to learn more about one's own culture when seen through the lens of another. So to decipher the meaning of Social Justice, I turned to the characters of the Japanese language. Each character, a complex pictograph, tells a story. I wanted to see what story the characters for Social Justice would tell.
