This is apparent 2166 AuSable when one Halllooks at the recent edited collections and Behavioral Science textbooks on social movements that have Grand been Valley published State University in the past five years, many of which University of Southern anchor social Maine/movement courses (Bantjes Allendale, 2007;MI della 49401 Porta and Diani 1999, 2006; Meyer 2007;College Nash 2005; Snow, Soule and Kriesi 2004, 2007; Staggenborg 2008; Tilly Lewiston-Auburn [email protected] 2004; TillyME and04240 Tarrow 2007).

However, in putting together this University Delaware [email protected] collection, we19716 have attempted to find syllabi and exercises that go beyond single textbooks, thus Newark, DE expanding our sense of what might be possible in a social movements course.

Syllabi by Staggenborg, Olzak, Schwartz andCollege Esparza,ofWood, Roth, Munson, Tilly Eller Management George Ritzer and Conley offer different perspectives on the state of the field. of While Olzak, Staggenborg and Department of Sociology University Arizona Munson emphasize movement emergence and dynamics, Wood University of Maryland Tucson, AZconsiders 85721 the role of political economy, and MD Tilly20742 and Conley place movements into the larger context of contentious politics.

Exercises like Caren’s Department Social Movement Board Game, Bowman’s of Sociology Department of Sociology exercise on designing a social movement, and Conley’s project of on Michigan analyzing a stream of University University Maryland contention of allow the students to wrestle with these processes in ways that will sharpen both their Ann Arbor, MI 48109 College MD 20742 analysis,Park, and build their sense of themselves as [email protected] participants in society. [email protected] Inevitably, the collection also reflects the gaps in the field. While Roth highlights the interaction between gender and social movements there is a need for more courses that pay sustained attention to dynamics of gender, race, class, sexuality and disability as they are manifested in movements. Slowly, North American scholars are examining social movements outside of the ‘core countries’ in Western Europe and North America. While the US civil rights movement continues to hold a central place in our theorizing, it is no longer as dominant as it once was. 200 3 Juliet Schor Laura Miller Newer movements including the anti-sweatshop movement, global justice movements, 519 McGuinn movements around Department of Sociology health, the environment, immigration and security, and movements around 140 Commonwealth racism and103 Pearlman sexism in social institutions beyond the government are slowlyAve. becoming more Boston College visible in University Brandeis our literature. Some of these movements are reflected as focused case studies in this Chestnut MA 02467 Waltham, 02454 collection MA – from the courses on environmental movements byHill, Leonard and by Brulle, to [email protected] [email protected] Brown’s course on Social Movements in Health.

University of Colorado The politics of gender is part and parcel University of the strategies, of Colorado ideologies, and Boulder, effectiveness CO 80309 of social movement politics. Boulder, CO 80309 [email protected] [email protected] In this course, we will consider primarily sociological work on the linked issues of feminism, Jan women’s Phillips movements, and gender politics in movement Joelsettings.

[email protected] Department of Sociology and Assessment: This is a seminar, which means that students Anthropology should be prepared to read and Meghan Ashlin Rich participate. of In Sociology fact, the success of the course lies with students. Accordingly, I will ask for two Ohio University Department and Criminal presentations: one based on a week’s set of course readings second based on a student’s Justice Athens,and OHa45701 chosen topic their paper, as described immediately below. These presentations should NOT University offor Delaware [email protected] be longerDE than19716 20 minutes, and must do more than simply summarize course readings. They Newark, should present issues in the literature and end with questions class discussion. [email protected] Melanie for Wallendorf Department of Marketing Eller College of Management George Ritzer One 15-20 page paper will be required, and students will be asked to turn in a draft/outline/or Department of Sociology University of Arizona whatever they have at the midway point of the seminar. The paper topic should be chosen in University of Maryland Tucson, AZ 85721 consultation with me, and should ideally both focus more intently on one course theme and target College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] a student’s research interests. That is to say, I will work with students so that they write more in [email protected] depth on a topic that is both germane to the course and reflects their own research agendas. I Frederick Wherry would expect the paper to be a relatively extensive literature review of a particular theme, with a J. Michael Ryan Department of Sociology critical assessment of debates and lacunae within the literature. Alternatively, and with my Department of Sociology University of Michigan permission, those students currently involved in activism would be encouraged to use that University of Maryland Ann Arbor, MI 48109 experience in concert with course reading to analyze that experience. I would also be open to College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] projects that provide a critical assessment of popular media’s response to women and social [email protected] protest (i.e. the examination of film, television, etc.), again, as long at the project is approved.

How can they organize themselves College of Business Sociology very values for which they are fighting? This course Department combines: 1)ofreading, discussion, and Bus 468 219 Ketchum Hall writing about strategies for social change; 2) workshops on practical organizing skills like University of decision-making, Colorado University Coloradononviolent tactics, participatory publicity and outreach, campaignofresearch, Boulder, CO 80309 Boulder, CO 80309 alliance-building, etc.; and 3) a collective action project which the class will research, design, [email protected] [email protected] and carry out together. Students should have either prior coursework in social issues/social movements or activist experience. Jan Phillips Joel Stillerman Department of Social and 2166 AuSable Hall Course Format Behavioral Science Grand Valley State University The course is designed to have a strong experiential component. It is meant to give you practical University of Southern Maine/ Allendale, MI 49401 knowledge of various kinds of organizing skills and [email protected] hands-on experience using them in a Lewiston-Auburn College collective project. At the same time, we will be discussing these issues and the various options Lewiston, ME 04240 we look at with an evaluative eye, considering the practical ethical implications of various Deborahand Thorne [email protected] options available to organizers in terms of how to mobilize people, to dealand with the media, Department of how Sociology what strategies social change work best, what tactics, etc. Also, many of the options that have Anthropology Meghan Ashlinfor Rich been tried historically are either not within the scope of this course for us to try ourselves Ohio University Department of Sociology and Criminal (developing a national coalition, for example) or are Athens, ethically/morally Justice OH 45701inappropriate to be carrying out as a class (e.g. violent tactics), yet it is important from an intellectual standpoint to University of Delaware [email protected] understand has been tried in the past and what has or has not worked in different situations.

(All materials necessary Lisa Peñaloza to play the game are available at the Global Sara Justice Steen Game website, http://www.globaljusticegame.mrap.info/) College of Business Although Department playing it should of Sociology be fun, it should also be a meaningful Bus 468 learning experience--the game is structured 219toKetchum simulateHall various real-world social dynamics Universitytoofhelp Colorado you better understand them. Specifically, University the game of Colorado deals with economic globalization Boulder, CO 80309 and the global justice movement (often--and Boulder, somewhat CO 80309 incorrectly--known as the anti-globalization [email protected] movement). In addition to [email protected] you understand the forces of globalization, this game should also help you understand some bigger sociological concepts. The game and class Jan Phillips come from what is known in sociology as a “critical” Joel Stillerman perspective--that is, one that believes sociologists Department of should Social focus and on questions connected to social 2166 AuSable justice and Hall support movements working Behavioral forScience social justice. Thus the game is designedGrand not only Valley to help State students University learn about the sociology Universityofofglobalization, Southern Maine/ but to help activists learnAllendale, to think strategically. MI 49401 Students of any political persuasionCollege are welcome to take the class--and to challenge me--but you should be aware Lewiston-Auburn [email protected] of this basic political Lewiston, ME 04240 orientation when you decide if this class is one you will enjoy. Deborah Thorne [email protected] We will start with a couple classes centered around lectures, Department in which of Sociology we will go andover the basics about economic globalization, the global justice movement Anthropology and the mass media. Though most of Meghan Ashlin Rich the readings of will be from aand progressive be readings representing all sides Ohio will University Department Sociology Criminal perspective, there of the globalization debate. There will be a fair amount of reading during these first few weeks. Justice Athens, OH 45701 Once we have completed these introductory lectures,[email protected] we will begin to play the Global Justice University of Delaware Game. The Newark, DEGame 19716is made up of seven scenarios, of which we will play six. The first five will take two-and-a-half sessions to play, which will be followed one-and-a-half classes of lecture [email protected] Melanie by Wallendorf and discussion, for a total of four classes per scenario. The sixth and final scenario, which is Department of Marketing structured slightly differently, will take only two classes play, with one class set aside for class EllertoCollege of Management George Ritzer discussion. scenario has game-related material University you will need to read, plus more scholarly DepartmentEach of Sociology of Arizona readings that build on the introductory material, Tucson, to give you progressively more in-depth University of will Maryland AZ a85721 picture economic globalization and the global justice movement. The amount of reading Collegeof Park, MD 20742 [email protected] during this second part of the class shouldn’t be as heavy as during the first few weeks. [email protected] Frederick Wherry J. Michael The GlobalRyan Justice Game is a role-playing game--forDepartment each scenario, a group of you will be of Sociology Department of Sociology assigned to play a particular organization, such as a branch of the government, a corporation, University of US Michigan University of government, Maryland an activist organization, orAnn a third-world a media outlet.

Each team has its own distinct set of success indicators; these success indicators represent real-world social forces that the real-life equivalent of your organization would need to worry about, such as the price of stock for corporations or popular support for activist groups. As you play each scenario, you want to strategize about not only how to achieve your goals in the scenario, but how to raise your success indicators--indeed, your success indicators should give you a good sense of what your goals are. Some teams (such as corporations or the World Trade 200 121 Schor Laura Miller should have an easier time raising theirJuliet Organization) scores than others (activist groups or thirdMcGuinn world countries), Department of Sociology reflecting the inequalities in power519 of the real world. 140 Commonwealth Ave. Pearlman 103 One of theUniversity Brandeis goals of this class is for you to come awayBoston with aCollege better understanding of how social Hill, MA 02467 Waltham, MA 02454 structures shape the decisions people make in the realChestnut world.

Jan Phillips Setting out as an assistant professor to do what Joel I thought Stillerman was “good sociology” by forging Department connections of Socialbetween and the issues in our books,2166 our campus, AuSableand Hallour society, I have been taken by surprise when some of my colleagues, whose ideologies scholarly focus differ little Behavioral Science Grand Valleyand State University from my own, have taken offense to my public exhortations to action.

Several students usually express the desire to do College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] something about one (or all) of the social problems we have been studying during the semester. I [email protected] ask them if they would like their exam/paper/final project to be actually doing something active together about an issue from the class. Usually about ¾ of the class are enthusiastic about this. (Note I do not lay out terms and conditions yet. Note, the hesitancy of the other ¼ will be addressed later.) I ask them to brainstorm what kinds of things they would like to work on and I write everything they say on the board. (I shortening and clarifying what they say, but staying close to the terms they use. Double-barreled proposals should be broken in two.) I let this go on for 20 200 169 Juliet Schor Laura Miller minutes or so, eliciting LOTS of ideas and using participatory methods of trying to hear from McGuinn nearly everyone Department of Sociology instead of only the ones who have a 519 lot to say. I do not react to any of the ideas. Ave. Once the board Pearlman 103 is overflowing and I feel that they’ve140 runCommonwealth out of ideas, I stop and step back and Boston College look at it with Brandeis University them. This is a good time to mention how great it is that they care about all of Waltham, MA these things and02454 how many great ideas they have. Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 [email protected] [email protected] The things on the board will be of many different types. Some will be a problem like “racism” or a reference to a course reading. Some will be a recent event on campus, or a national or international Lisa Peñaloza event. Some will be very specific action Saraproposals. Steen Here I do two kinds of filtering.ofFirst College Business I draw connections (lines on the board,Department or making another of Sociology list, without erasing anything) Bus 468 between groups of ideas. I try to get the 30219 items Ketchum on the board Hall down to 5-8 issues that capture almost University of Colorado all of the original ideas. (Always, a few University outliers are of Colorado discarded. I am attentive to not discarding Boulder, CO 80309 anything that was the only suggestionBoulder, of a particular CO 80309 student. I feel more comfortable discarding ideas that were proposed as one [email protected] [email protected] of several by a single student.) I give short names to each of these 5-8 ideas, each of which are jumbles of possibilities, different Jan levels, Phillips etc. Then I use some sort of democratic process Joel forStillerman getting down to one or two of these. Department (Note that atof this Social point,and what they are choosing still contains 2166 AuSable a lot ofHall different possibilities.) I say “one or two” because at this point I have to make a judgment aboutState whether enough of them are Behavioral Science Grand Valley University going to beof happy with Maine/ one idea, whether there need Allendale, to be two groups. (Personally, I would work University Southern MI 49401 with topics in multiples of 20 students. In a class of 80, I would have 4 topics. But if I had a class Lewiston-Auburn College [email protected] of 20 with ME two 04240 really strong interests, I would probably let them have 2 groups.) Also sometimes Lewiston, one of the ideas is problematic because it is not closely enoughThorne related to course materials or I Deborah [email protected] know that they will not have much to work with if they take on that issue. Sometimes I get them Department of Sociology and down to three I say that I reserve the right to choose Anthropology one of the three topics, and I’ll Meghan Ashlinand Rich announce myofdecision next class. (The authority thatOhio I reserve as part of this process is not used University Department Sociology and Criminal as my political preference, but to try to make sure that they will a good organizing Justice Athens, OHhave 45701 experience,ofwhich means, that they will find some resources to work with, they will be relatively University Delaware [email protected] safe, theyDE will19716 be able to get something accomplished, etc. Sometimes I do not exercise my Newark, reserved authority at all, sometimes I do it several times during a project.) [email protected] Melanie Wallendorf At this point I let them know that I will be announcing to of them the procedures, grading, Department Marketing etc. for the assignment and I emphasize that any student becomes uncomfortable with any Ellerwho College of Management George Ritzer aspect of theofprocess at any time, can make a specialUniversity arrangement me to get their grade in a Department Sociology of with Arizona different way (more about this below.)

Ann Arbor, MI 48109 CollegeThe Park, next MD phase 20742 of the process is action planning.

[email protected] [email protected] It may take several class sessions to get all the way through the worksheet, and several parts of it may require some research outside of class (such as finding out about what approaches have Lisa already Peñaloza been tried to addressing this problem). In mySara experience, Steen students volunteer for these College early research of Business tasks. You will probably establish a point Department system or ofsomething Sociology to track and reward Bus this activity, 468 as well as distribute the opportunities fairly. 219 Ketchum Hall University During of Colorado the action planning phase, I am a neutral University facilitator. of Colorado I do help identify when two Boulder, people areCO saying 80309 the same thing in different ways, orBoulder, when two COconflicting 80309 proposals could be [email protected] seen as complementary (“you can do both!”). The most [email protected] interventionist thing that I do is try to nudge them toward a semi-realistic scope of action in terms of time.

Stillerman They will inevitably trip against Department this problem,ofand Social I doand not want to rescue them from 2166 it entirely. AuSable However, Hall I do try to rescue them from it a little bit, in the interest of their having a somewhat satisfying Behavioral Science Grand Valley Stateexperience Universityof collective action. In the successful scope, I might, only if necessary, provide my opinion during University of interest SouthernofMaine/ Allendale, MI 49401 an evaluation of various tactical options. I would do [email protected] this by saying “this one looks very do-able Lewiston-Auburn College to me” or “that will be quite hard to do in 5 weeks, but you can do a piece of it.” Or “this one Lewiston, ME 04240 requires fewer resources and is less dependent on getting otherThorne groups to do it with you, so it Deborah [email protected] might be easier.” I should point out that I give opinions in inverseofrelation withand my sense that the Department Sociology group reveres and will listen. (Ergo, if the group Anthropology seems highly dependent and respectful, I Meghan AshlinmeRich restrain my opinions more.and If ICriminal feel confident that they willUniversity ignore me if they see fit, then I am Ohio Department of Sociology more comfortable sharing.) As a facilitator I do feel comfortable them, frequently, of Justice Athens, OH reminding 45701 how much time they have available. University of Delaware [email protected] the action plan is in place, we brainstorm a list of necessary working groups: Newark,Once DE 19716 Common working groups are: [email protected] Melanie Wallendorf Department of Marketing logistics Eller College of Management George •Ritzer • media Department of Sociology University of Arizona University Maryland Tucson, AZ 85721 • of research & publications College•Park, MD 20742 [email protected] artwork [email protected] • outreach to other groups Frederick Wherry • legal5 J. Michael Ryan Department of Sociology Department of Sociology University of Michigan 5 I have extensive training as a legal worker with regard to activism liberties, and am able to assess University of Maryland Ann Arbor,and MIcivil 48109 legal situations very well. If you are in doubt exercise caution, but also educate yourself College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] free speech rights and students’ rights on campus, to be sure you are not discouraging students from activities that are legal. Ask the legal [email protected] working group to read campus policies regarding free speech and use of various spaces on campus. Do not assume that students need a permit and do not take the word of the campus police in this regard. Read the campus policies. Be aware that while campus police may be poorly informed, city police can legally lie about the law, which they do as a means of social control. Again, require the students to learn about free speech rights on private, public, and federal property. Parks departments usually have their own set of rules and permissions. There may be state and local ordinances regarding assembly without a permit (OK up to a certain number), and some jurisdictions have student-specific ordinances linked to financial aid. The ACLU and the National Lawyers Guild provide excellent summaries of federal law regarding speech, assembly, and dealing with police. Regardless of how tame and legal your students’ activities are, you should also take the precaution of being prepared for questioning by police. 200 172 Laura Miller Students freely choose whichever group theyJuliet want Schor to be part of. At this point I reiterate 519 McGuinn that Department any students of Sociology who are not comfortable with the project, the process, or who do not see a 140will Commonwealth group Pearlman they103 want to work with can be “sideliners”.

I add someAnn questions criteria, usually to bring University of Maryland Arbor, and MI 48109 their project more into focus of course material. It’s hard for them to complain disruptively if College Park, MD 20742 [email protected] you ask them what they want to do and then let them do it. With these people happy, I can focus [email protected] on helping the group and not worry about disruptive dissent. I do require people who are doing their own projects to still attend all class sessions, including planning and debriefing so that they can learn from the project. They are encouraged to give feedback to the project group, based on their insights, so they are still valued and part of the class.

I find that about 2/3 of the students are Anthropology Meghan Ashlin Rich more interested in the project than their grade. You could make this very detailed, Ohio University Department of Sociology and Criminal with the students coming up with criteria for grading, etc., or different grades for Justice Athens, OH 45701 different work.
