LBS 370B - Social Movements

Institution:

Antioch University-Santa Barbara

Subject:

Description:

This class focuses on U.S. social movements, including revolutionary movements, in which loosely organized groups of people challenge social norms and values and/or established political and social order, often defying established rules of behavior and bypassing traditional institutional channels (e.g. voting, petitioning, lobbying) for pursuing their interests. The course takes an interdisciplinary perspective combining sociological theory with social history and social psychology and utilizes an historical-comparative approach which focuses on oral social histories and biographies as well as second-hand analysis. Multimedia sources include the music produced by various social movements, audiotapes of the period, and film archives.
