SOCI 214 - Social Movements

FC SSCI CD

4 credits
Social movements are collective attempts to change the way people live their lives, how governments govern, and how economic systems produce and distribute goods. This course focuses on theoretical domains in the sociological study of social movements and general social processes rather than on specific movements. Substantive work on specific movements is used to explain issues such as mobilization, tactics, ideology, as well as how the social context in which a movement takes place matters.
