Social Movements
Social Movements, Theory, and Practice
There are many ways to affect politics, from voting to lobbying to corrupting leaders. But building social movements—from the civil rights movement to the Tea Parties—is one of the most powerful and positive approaches. In this course students will examine the history and structure of movements from the left, right, and middle; try to figure out how conditions have changed in an internet age; and develop particular strategies for campaigns that interest them. Not open to students who have taken ENVS 0340.
