SOCI 3600 - Social Movements

Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

In this course, we study different sociological explanations for why and how mobilizations take place and prevail. We move from earlier explanations of mobilization to some of the most current studies; allowing participants to gain a keen understanding of current theoretical debates. Thematically, we explore issues such as the role of political opportunity, networks, charismatic leadership, ideology, gender, race, ethnicity, and social class in shaping social movements and revolutions. While two key movements - Civil Rights and Women's Movement- focus on the USA experience, the course explores movements around the globe. In the course, students also develop research, critical thinking, synthesizing, and writing skills. This course is geared at the intermediate level and fulfills the social change Sociology AOC requirement. With approval from the professor, it can satisfy a Gender Studies requirement.
