- Class Description:
- Focusing on the origins, dynamics, and consequences of social and political protest, this course explores the opportunities and challenges facing activists, connections between local and global protest movements, the targets of protest, and the role of collective political action in bringing about change. The course is organized around theoretical issues concerning how and why people become recruited and committed to protest activities, how they mobilize support for their causes, the strategies and tactics they use in seeking and resisting change, and how states, non-governmental organizations, and international institutions shape protest opportunities. These issues will be addressed through various case studies protest around the globe, with a focus on protests against authoritarian rule, environmental degradation, gender inequality, racial injustice, human rights violations, labor exploitation, discrimination based on sexuality, and the impact of neo-liberal capitalism on public services and inequality. We will explore the grievances of protestors who highlight these issues, the ways they have framed the issues, the opportunities and threats they face, the problems and prospects of activism across borders, and the long and short-term consequences of protest. The emphasis will be on applying concepts and theories to help you better understand the dynamics and consequences of protest.

- Class Description:
- This course provides a broad view of the role of drinking in social life, using alcohol as a prism through which we can begin to understand a great deal about moral and social divides in our society and different ways of understanding youth, risk and belonging over time and across societies. Why does our popular culture simultaneously mythologize and pathologize drinking? How are gender, class, ethnicity and community reflected in our attitudes about drinking and our attempts to control the behavior of others?
