SOC 356 - Social Movements

This course is about social movements - collective action in which groups use institutionalized and non-institutionalized tactics to promote or resist social and political change. Students will study the history and impact of the Civil Rights Movement as a template for other historic and contemporary examples of social change. Students will also serve in a local community organizing placement in order to see the application of course material on community development. These placements will be made by the second week of class by the instructor.
