In an era of increasing censorship, political interference, and defunding of vital public health research, how can scholars continue to speak truth to power? Resisting the Empire: Poetry as/for Radical Health Communication is a short course designed for communication and public health scholars who seek creative, critical, and radical ways to share research, critique oppressive systems, and foster dialogue, especially when institutional channels fail. Drawing on Audre Lorde's iconic assertion that the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house, this course positions poetry as both a method and communication tool an approach to inquiry and a form of public intervention Participants will explore how poetic techniques can be used to bear witness, name injustice, imagine alternatives, and connect deeply with communities affected by health inequities. Through readings, case studies, writing exercises, and collective reflection, the course will explore poetic inquiry and other art-based methods as powerful complements to more traditional forms of scholarship. Together, we will ask: What does it mean to write from the margins? How can poetry be a tool for reclaiming voice, visibility, and epistemic power? And how might poetic forms help us communicate truths that data alone cannot? This course welcomes scholars, practitioners, and students interested in critical/radical storytelling, embodied knowledge, and health communication that centers justice, affect, and community. No prior experience with poetry is required, only a willingness to write boldly and think differently.
