This article applies Barrett’s theory of Power as Knowing Participation in Change (PKPC) to teaching social justice advocacy to undergraduate college students. The author designed and implemented a seminar that integrated PKPC principles through experiential learning, multimedia resources, and reflective assignments, using the HIV advocacy movement as a case study to demonstrate how awareness, choice, intentional action, and involvement in change can address social inequities. Students created advocacy projects addressing contemporary social inequities by identifying a group power profile and developing a power prescription. The seminar demonstrated the potential of PKPC as a transformative framework for education and activism across disciplines.
