SOCI 361 - Power, Politics, and Social Change
Examines the relationship between power, politics, and social change with a special focus on social movements. Considers questions such as: What leads to social movement? What do social movements do? What are the tools they use? The approach is historical and comparative. Students consider what social movements can tell us about society, and apply key sociological concepts to considerations of collective action. Students consider the building blocks of social movements from the perspective of a social movement participant, exercising the notion of ‘sociological competence.’ By studying social movements through the perspectives of both scholar and activist, students gain helpful tools for collective action and social change.
