SOCI 290 - Social Movements and Social Change (3.0 credits)
An exploration of how actors produce social change by examining the history, theory, and practice of social movements. A range of historical social movements are discussed, including the civil rights movement, women’s movements, LGBT movements, environmental movements, and contemporary movements, including Idle No More and Black Lives Matter, among others. Students will apply theory and engage in analysis to understand how movements emerge, as well as the strategies and tactics that make them successful. By engaging learners in historical, theoretical, and practice-based learning activities, students will be challenged to imagine pathways for social change and social justice in their own communities.
