Welcome to Social Movements

What are social movements? How do they form? What effects do they have on the society around us? This course addresses these questions and looks at how the practice of social movements is reflected in the theory researchers use to understand the phenomena.

COMM

 

My name is Emily (she/her/hers) and I am your instructor for this course. I am very excited to be teaching this course because one of my foremost interests in the discipline is using communication to create more just worlds, both through teaching and research. When I'm not teaching or researching, I love getting up into the mountains, making art, spending quality time with my family and friends, playing music, and reading. I'm very much looking forward to working with each of you!
