SOCIOL 217

Social Movements

Description

What motivates and sustains collective action for social and political change? Through local and international examples, students will explore different theories about why people form and act through movements, the tactics and strategies activists use, how movement successes and failures are measured, and how and why groups evolve, or fall apart, over time.
