JINS 391 - Contentious Politics and the Collective Experience

This course looks at contentious politics and social movements in the United States and other regions of the world. We will begin by looking at contentious politics from a political science perspective, allowing for a social scientific understanding of this phenomenon.  In addition to a political science approach, historical and economic lenses will be used to investigate several specific protest movements.  Culture influences protest and vice versa, and the course will also investigate connections to literature, film, music, art, and digital media in these specific protest movements.

Prerequisite: JINS eligibility (55-95 credits applied).
Credit(s): 3
