Activism, Protests, & Social Movements
Course #: SOCIOL 331, Class #: 10262, Section #: 01
Description
From phone-banking to rioting and everything in between, this course explores how individuals have attempted to create change. In this course we explore when, why, and how people join together to press for social change. What are the conditions that facilitate or obstruct the emergence of a movement? Why do some movements succeed while other fail? We will examine examples of social movements to help us answer these questions. The social movements might include: Black Lives Matter, the Occupy Movement, the Gay Liberation Movement, the Women's Movement, the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, and the Labor Movement.
