ANTH 368 - 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 social scientific concepts to considerations of collective action. Students also consider the building blocks of social movements from the perspective of a social movement participant. By studying social movements through the perspectives of both scholar and activist, students gain helpful tools for collective action and social change.
