SOC 301 - Social Movements & Activism

4 Hour(s)
Explore how social movements and individuals work for social change to address social and environmental problems. Examine how public and policymakers’ subjective perceptions of objective conditions are constructed as problematic, and the strategies social movements use to instigate (or halt) social change to address them. Analyze a case study of a selected social or environmental problem by applying sociological constructionist and social movement theories throughout the semester.
