This course introduces students to the field of social movements. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of theoretical ideas to case studies in order to enhance our knowledge of community organization and social change. Organizing - whether it is on a local, national, or international level brings people together to achieve their common interest and goals. The organizer faces a variety of tasks: recruiting participants, mobilizing resources, building community, planning strategies, assessing the political climate and conditions, and ultimately implementing collective action. In addition, an effective organizer must find ways to sustain motivation during setbacks, to address problems of repression and internal disputes, to overcome obstacles to mobilization and to productively deal with the media. This class covers social science theories that inform these skills.
