Agents of Change examines the untold story of the racial conditions on college campuses and in the country that led to these protests. The film’s characters were caught at the crossroads of the civil rights, black power, and anti-Vietnam war movements at a pivotal time in America’s history. Today, over 45 years later, many of the same demands are surfacing in campus protests across the country, revealing how much work remains to be done.
The purpose of this Research Guide is to assist users who are interested in pursuing research into the experiences of BIPOC students at Santa Clara University. It was created as a result of working with Jesica Fernández's ETHN 165 Community-based Research Methods course.

ARCHIVIST-ACTIVIST MEDIA PROJECT
The Archivist-Activist Podcast/Video Group Project is an assignment students are encouraged to complete as part of the course, ETHN 187: Youth Activism & Contemporary Social Movements (Faculty: Fernández, Jesica). Students are provided with the following assignment description: "The Archivist-Activist Podcast/video Group Project is a collaborative and collective assignment that will require you to work together with other students, and as a group, to produce either a podcast or a video. Podcast or video should be between 5-7 minutes in length. These should be interactive, engaging, informative and accessible! The goal of this assignment is to allow you as a group to engage in a critical socio-historical analysis of past and contemporary student activists experiences, organizing efforts and social movements within Santa Clara University. Many of you consider yourselves as activists and/or student organizers, or leaders at SCU – and rarely do we have an opportunity to reflect, look back, connect and bridge the past struggles that students with similar positionalities and experiences on our campus have engaged, resisted and transformed. Now is the time to look to our past to make sense of our present, and work to decolonize and transform the University through archivist-activists scholarship.
