RSS Social Movements Workshop

The social movements workshop provides graduate students with an opportunity to share ongoing research with faculty and students working specifically in the areas of social movements, collective action, and political mobilization. The primary aim of the workshop is to assist students with writing papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals, as well as writing grant, fellowship, and dissertation proposals. Through discussion and written feedback, the workshop seeks to introduce students to contemporary theory and research on political protest, as well as prominent works in the “canon” that may be relevant to their work.  It is a methodologically diverse group, and draws participants not only from Sociology, but also Women’s Studies, Political Science, and Social Work, among others.

While the format varies across sessions, in most cases, the “speaker” for the week circulates a draft in advance of the workshop, and participants are expected to read and prepare comments for discussion.

Elizabeth A. Armstrong, Robert Jansen, Sandy Levitsky (co-organizer), Kiyo Tsutsui (co-organizer), Mayer Zald
