| SOCI 221 - SOCIAL MOVEMENTS |
|
This course is an introduction to the role of social movements in the contemporary world. It will begin with an assessment of sociological theory on social movements and address the old forms of collective action from which this literature springs. Then, the course will interpret the emergence of the "new social movements" of feminism, peace and ecology, and how they image the overcoming of the current ecological and socio-economic crisis. Special attention will be given to the claim that all these actions are part of a global movement for a new economic order.
