Sociology 254 - Social Movements

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

GSS, Human Rights, LAIS Students examine four social movements: the black civil rights movement of the 1950s-60s, the Chicano movement of the 1960s-70s, the gay and lesbian movement of the 1970s-90s, and the Vieques antimilitary movement of the 1990s. Beyond the fact that each movement sought different goals and that each occurred under different circumstances, the course focuses on two main areas: it identifies and studies the tactics, strategies, and decisions taken by organizers, and it reviews the types of actions and protests and how these related to the environment (political and social), the movements' goals (long and short term), and to their success or failure.
