DESCRIPTION

This course is meant to provide students with a general introduction to the problems and challenges inherent in the analytical framework of studying social movements and transnational actors. The answers to the question of why we should study social movements and collective action have changed over time. Moreover, the answers are also different, depending upon the theoretical frameworks through which the social scientists work, his /her/they gender, generation and practitioners¿ experiences. During this course we will draw upon a broad range of social perspectives located in contemporary struggles covering diverse social mobilizations based in different parts of the world. We will highlight differences and commonalities in selected fields of social justice struggles. A critical reading of new movements and transnational actors will be supported during this course by a range of literature produced by academics, political engaged actors and practitioners.
