课程描述
通过学习这门课程，学生将会对集体行为，也就是通常所说的社会运动的形式有大致了解。我们的这一任务将通过对美国20世纪发生一些社会运动的详细分析来实现。我们会读到有关美国民权运动，失业工人运动，社会福利权利运动，堕胎／反堕胎运动以及同性恋权利运动的材料。我们会比较美国的这些社会运动与其他国家社会运动的异同。最后，我们还将探寻这些运动成功或者失败的原因。
This course seeks to provide students with a general understanding of the form of collective action known as the social movement. Our task will be guided by the close examination of several twentieth century social movements in the United States. We will read about the U.S. civil rights, the unemployed workers', welfare rights, pro-choice / pro-life and gay rights movements. We will compare and contrast certain of these movements with their counterparts in other countries. For all, we will identify the reasons for their successes and failures.
