| Course Description | This course deals with social movements and protests. It, first, introduces the main social movement theories that have been formulated to make sense of the social movements generated since the mid-twentieth century. Then, by employing the insights of these theories, it examines the waves of movements and protests that marked their imprint on the social world since the 1960s. It tries to understand how these waves of movements were mobilized within specific socio-political contexts, which social groups were the main constituents of these movements, and to what extent they produced social, economic, political and cultural effects. |
