Join us for a thought‑provoking talk by Dr. Kristina Lee, Communication Studies Professor at the University of South Dakota, as she draws on academic work in social movement theory to break down the range of actions that emerge within movements—from moderate legislative engagement to mass protests, charity work to dramatized demonstrations, and civil disobedience to uncivil obedience. She highlights how successful movements often require a combination of these approaches and invites attendees and encourages attendees to reflect on the forms of activism they are most drawn to and why.

Dr. Kristina M. Lee is an Assistant Professor in Communication Studies at the University of South Dakota. Her research focuses on the intersection of religious and political rhetoric with a particular interest in Christian nationalism and atheist experiences. Her recent publications include "Playing Devil’s Advocate: The Satanic Temple’s Use of Direct and Indirect Blasphemy as a Form of Uncivil Obedience" and “In God We Trust?”: Christian Nationalists’ Establishment and Use of Theistnormative Legislation."
