Description

Why do social movements emerge? How has the civil society mobilised and organised to contest power and pursue social justice?

The module will offer students an introduction to key theoretical debates in the sociology of social movements, considering issues such as citizen rights, political protest, emotion and embodied movements, art activism, populist/nationalist movements, violence, social justice and social change. The sessions will draw on a set of diverse historical and contemporary empirical illustrations from both the Global North and Global South, to critically evaluate the theories鈥� relevance for the study of different types of movements.
