Course Description:
In this time of extensive social conflict and mass political movements around the environment, immigration, race, workers rights, and public health understanding the role of mass political movements in government and politics is becoming increasingly important. This course will provide an introduction to current and historical movements for political change with a focus on their tactics, strategies, organizational forms, and objectives. Students will learn how to plan, organize and evaluate their own local movement.
