SOC 255 Social Movements (3 SH)

This course provides a sociological framework for understanding the ways that people, working together, attempt to alleviate social problems. We begin by exploring and evaluating models and tactics of making change. We then examine forms of collective behavior, ending with a focus on social movements comprised of organized groups attempting to influence various audiences. Sociological theories are applied to historical and contemporary cases that involve violent and nonviolent tactics. Offered in alternate years
