Local and global social movements

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: SC1215

This course will introduce you to recent contributions to social movement theory, enabling you to appreciate their relevance for making sense of social movements both globally and locally in Scandinavia. In particular, we will focus on social movements in terms of processes of identity formation and the creation of new local or global solidarities. We will also discuss the nature of protest and the different strategies adopted by social movement actors when presenting their causes in public. The course consists of two modules: the first will provide you with an overview over major theoretical perspectives and a variety of social movements, and the second will give you the opportunity to conduct an in-depth study of a particular social movement of your own choice.
