7 Teaching Laura Miller Social Movements Juliet Schor 519 McGuinn Teaching Pearlman courses 103 in social movements is a pleasure. 140 Students Commonwealth come to the Ave. classes with enthusiasm Brandeis University that is rooted both in their academic interests, Boston and College personal histories. Some are activists Waltham, and MA appreciate the opportunity to learn about Chestnut past movements Hill, MA and strategize about their current campaigns. Others are curious about the images juliet.schor@bc.edu of struggle that they see in popular culture. Some want to know more about the history of their family, ethnicity, race or class. Some simply Lisa Peñaloza want to understand the world around them. On Sara a more Steen academic level, social movements courses College are of Business opportunities for wrestling with more abstract Department concepts of Sociology within social theory, concepts Bus 468 around action, structure, communication, and 219 power. Ketchum Hall University The of social Colorado movement literature has grown rapidly University over the of Colorado past twenty years, and developed Boulder, CO even in the four years since the last edition Boulder, of this collection. CO Theoretical divisions between new social movement theory and political process steen@colorado.edu approaches are being transcended as scholars use multiple traditions to analyze activist identities, the role of the state, narrative, repertoires Jan Phillips and repression, along with the movements Joel that Stillerman have emerged associated with economic Department globalization, of Social and and ethnic conflict. This is apparent 2166 AuSable when one Hall looks at the recent edited collections Behavioral and Science textbooks on social movements that have Grand been Valley published State University in the past five years, many University of which of Southern anchor social Maine/ movement courses (Bantjes Allendale, 2007; MI della Porta and Diani 1999, 2006; Lewiston-Auburn Meyer 2007; College Nash 2005; Snow, Soule and Kriesi stillejo@gvsu.edu 2004, 2007; Staggenborg 2008; Tilly 2004; Lewiston, Tilly ME and Tarrow 2007). Most undergraduate social movements courses Deborah center their Thorne readings around a main text. In addition to the newer ones listed above, the most popular Department texts of assigned Sociology continue and to be Sidney Tarrow s Meghan Ashlin Power Rich in Movement (1998), Doug McAdam s Anthropology Political Process and the Development of Department Black Insurgency, of Sociology and Criminal (1982/1999), the edited Ohio collection University Comparative Perspectives on Social Justice Movements: Political Opportunities, Mobilizing Athens, Structures, OH and Cultural Framings (1996) University and of Alberto Delaware Melucci s Challenging Codes (1996). However, in putting together this collection, Newark, DE we have attempted to find syllabi and exercises that go beyond single textbooks, thus expanding our sense of what might be possible in a social Melanie movements Wallendorf course. We are excited about this collection, and what it suggests about the current Department moment of Marketing social movement scholarship. George Ritzer Syllabi by Staggenborg, Olzak, Schwartz Eller and College Esparza, of Wood, Management Roth, Munson, Tilly and Department Conley offer Sociology different perspectives on the state of University the field. of While Arizona Olzak, Staggenborg and Munson University emphasize of Maryland movement emergence and dynamics, Tucson, Wood AZ considers the role of political economy, College Park, and MD Tilly and Conley place movements into the larger context of contentious politics. Over the past few years, social movement research and writing has begun to speak more explicitly about the processes and dynamics that underlie Frederick mobilization, Wherry recruitment, alliance building J. Michael and Ryan communication. Exercises like Caren s Department Social Movement of Sociology Board Game, Bowman s exercise Department on designing of Sociology a social movement, and Conley s University project of on Michigan analyzing a stream of contention University of allow Maryland the students to wrestle with these processes Ann Arbor, in ways MI that will sharpen both their analysis, College Park, and build MD their sense of themselves as active participants in society. Inevitably, the collection also reflects the gaps in the field. While Roth highlights the interaction between gender and social movements there is a need for more courses that pay sustained attention to dynamics of gender, race, class, sexuality and disability as they are manifested in movements. Slowly, North American scholars are examining social movements outside of the core countries in Western Europe and North America. While the US civil rights movement continues to hold a central place in our theorizing, it is no longer as dominant as it once was

8 Newer Laura Miller movements including the anti-sweatshop movement, Juliet Schor global justice movements, movements Department around of Sociology health, the environment, immigration 519 McGuinn and security, and movements around racism Pearlman and 103 sexism in social institutions beyond the government 140 Commonwealth are slowly Ave. becoming more Brandeis visible in University our literature. Some of these movements are Boston reflected College as focused case studies in this Waltham, collection MA from the courses on environmental movements Chestnut by Hill, Leonard MA and by Brulle, to Brown s course on Social Movements in Health. Social juliet.schor@bc.edu movement courses that examine collective action in times and places different to our own can be an opportunity for Lisa understanding Peñaloza the particularities of the current moment Sara in Steen North America. Such investigations College help students of Business to understand that another world is not Department only possible, of but Sociology inevitable. Courses on Bus social 468 movements in Latin America such as those by 219 Rubin, Ketchum and Schulz, Hall and courses that adopt a University global perspective of Colorado like those by Williams, El-Ghobashy, University Thayer, of and Colorado Almeida offer ways of Boulder, doing this. CO Social movement courses also offer particular steen@colorado.edu challenges. Often students arrive in the classes feeling disconnected from movements and skeptical about the effectiveness of movement Jan activity. Phillips Some scholars included here have developed Joel tools Stillerman for overcoming this sense of Department disconnection of by Social engaging and students through social movement 2166 AuSable work. Hall The courses by Marshall Behavioral Ganz and by Science Darcy Leach and the exercises by Starr, Grand Bowman, Valley Conley State and University Scanlan ask students University to participate of in Southern social movement Maine/ activity, breaking down Allendale, the boundaries MI between the sociologist Lewiston-Auburn and the activist/organizer. College When done well, such work stillejo@gvsu.edu can facilitate a deeper understanding of Lewiston, the dynamics ME that underlie social movement activity, as well as developing skills for engagement in the larger society. Deborah Thorne Social movement courses offer opportunities Department for building of academic Sociology students and abilities that will Meghan be useful Ashlin to Rich them in their other courses, and in their Anthropology research. Some of these courses offer ways Department to simultaneously of Sociology build and substantive Criminal knowledge Ohio while University honing methodological skills. Mertig s Justice Fieldwork exercise and Conley s project on Athens, analyzing OH episodes of contention bring these University goals of together Delaware explicitly. Scanlan s exercises on analyzing news coverage of protest and Newark, films about DE social movements also offer creative methodological exercises. Sissenich s course on Social Movement and Film suggests ways that we might Melanie be able Wallendorf to incorporate film into our teaching and understand more deeply the ways that popular Department culture, of Marketing movements and political processes George Ritzer more generally interact. Eller College of Management Department Teaching of Sociology social movements is also a way to encourage University students of Arizona to confront questions of University power and inequality. of Maryland Some students, especially early Tucson, in their AZ university education are reluctant College to critically Park, analyze MD the hegemonic ideas of progress and development. Many of the courses included here explicitly examine the ways that less powerful groups force authorities into concessions. Applying theories of success and mobilization Frederick to particular Wherry cases can offer students J. a sense Michael of how Ryan change becomes possible. One example Department of this is offered Sociology by Colleen Murphy, Department who in her final of Sociology exam, asks the students to use their knowledge University of Michigan social movements to predict the University success of Maryland the movement around gay marriage. College So, Park, here MD it is This collection offers some of the best ideas from today s social movement courses in the US and beyond we hope that it will inspire and challenge both you and your students.

University Accordingly, I will ask for two Justice presentations: one based on a week s set of course readings Athens, and OH a second based on a student s University chosen topic of for Delaware their paper, as described immediately below. These presentations should NOT Newark, be longer DE than minutes, and must do more than simply summarize course readings. They should present issues in the literature and end with questions Melanie for Wallendorf class discussion. Department of Marketing George Ritzer Eller College of Management One page paper will be required, and students will be asked to turn in a draft/outline/or University of Arizona whatever they have at the midway point of the seminar. The paper topic should be chosen in Tucson, AZ consultation with me, and should ideally both focus more intently on one course theme and target a student s research interests. That is to say, I will work with students so that they write more in depth on a topic that is both germane to the course and reflects their own research agendas. I would expect the paper to be a relatively extensive literature review of a particular theme, with a J. Michael Ryan critical assessment of debates and lacunae within the literature. Alternatively, and with my University of Michigan permission, those students currently involved in activism would be encouraged to use that experience in concert with course reading to analyze that experience. I would also be open to projects that provide a critical assessment of popular media s response to women and social protest (i.e. the examination of film, television, etc.), again, as long at the project is approved. Readings: Assigned books, articles, chapters, and other readings appear under the weekly topics in the course schedule. They are all available on electronic and regular reserve.

DE Which strategies do movements use for communicating with the larger society and how are the different types of media being employed Melanie (e.g. mass Wallendorf demonstration, street theater, music, mouth-to-mouth propaganda, graffiti, flyers, newspapers, Department of radio, Marketing television, video, phone, fax, George , Ritzer web sites)? How do the structure and operative Eller College logic of of different Management media types impact movements? Department of How Sociology do the conditions for movements University change with of the Arizona decoupling of media from state University control of and Maryland the dedifferentiation of media and market?

125 Social Laura Miller Justice in a Global Context Juliet Schor Mathew Department Williams of Sociology 519 McGuinn Boston Pearlman College Commonwealth Ave. Brandeis University Boston College Course Waltham, Description MA Chestnut Hill, MA This class is structured around a teaching game, the Global juliet.schor@bc.edu Justice Game, developed (with some help from me and others) by Bill Gamson, a professor emeritus here at BC. (All materials necessary Lisa Peñaloza to play the game are available at the Global Sara Justice Steen Game website, College of Business Although Department playing it should of Sociology be fun, it should also be a meaningful Bus 468 learning experience--the game is structured 219 to Ketchum simulate Hall various real-world social dynamics University to of help Colorado you better understand them. Specifically, University the game of Colorado deals with economic globalization and the global justice movement (often--and Boulder, somewhat CO incorrectly--known as the anti-globalization movement). In addition to helping steen@colorado.edu you understand the forces of globalization, this game should also help you understand some bigger sociological concepts. The game and class Jan Phillips come from what is known in sociology as a critical Joel Stillerman perspective--that is, one that believes sociologists Department of should Social focus and on questions connected to social 2166 AuSable justice and Hall support movements working Behavioral for Science social justice. Thus the game is designed Grand not only Valley to help State students University learn about the sociology University of globalization, Southern Maine/ but to help activists learn Allendale, to think strategically. MI Students of any political Lewiston-Auburn persuasion College are welcome to take the class--and stillejo@gvsu.edu to challenge me--but you should be aware of Lewiston, this basic ME political orientation when you decide if this class is one you will enjoy. Deborah Thorne We will start with a couple classes centered around lectures, Department in which of Sociology we will go and over the basics about Meghan economic Ashlin Rich globalization, the global justice movement Anthropology and the mass media. Though most of the Department readings of will Sociology be from a and progressive Criminal perspective, there Ohio will University be readings representing all sides of Justice the globalization debate. There will be a fair amount Athens, of reading OH during these first few weeks. Once University we have of Delaware completed these introductory lectures, we will begin to play the Global Justice Game. Newark, The DE Game is made up of seven scenarios, of which we will play six. The first five will take two-and-a-half sessions to play, which will be followed Melanie by Wallendorf one-and-a-half classes of lecture and discussion, for a total of four classes per scenario. Department The sixth and of Marketing final scenario, which is structured George Ritzer slightly differently, will take only two classes Eller to College play, with of Management one class set aside for class discussion. Department Each of Sociology scenario has game-related material University you will need of Arizona to read, plus more scholarly readings University that of will Maryland build on the introductory material, Tucson, to give you AZ a progressively more in-depth picture College of Park, economic MD globalization and the global justice movement. The amount of reading during this second part of the class shouldn t be as heavy as during the first few weeks. The J. Michael Global Ryan Justice Game is a role-playing game--for Department each scenario, of Sociology a group of you will be assigned Department to play of Sociology a particular organization, such as a branch University of the of US Michigan government, a corporation, a University third-world of government, Maryland an activist organization, or Ann a media Arbor, outlet. MI Which team you will play will College vary Park, from MD scenario to scenario, so by the end of the semester, you will have played a wide range of roles. Each team has its own distinct set of success indicators; these success indicators represent real-world social forces that the real-life equivalent of your organization would need to worry about, such as the price of stock for corporations or popular support for activist groups. As you play each scenario, you want to strategize about not only how to achieve your goals in the scenario, but how to raise your success indicators--indeed, your success indicators should give you a good sense of what your goals are. Some teams (such as corporations or the World Trade

126 Organization) Laura Miller should have an easier time raising their Juliet scores Schor than others (activist groups or thirdworld Department countries), of Sociology reflecting the inequalities in power 519 of the McGuinn real world. Pearlman Commonwealth Ave. One Brandeis of the University goals of this class is for you to come away Boston with a College better understanding of how social structures Waltham, shape MA the decisions people make in the real Chestnut world. People Hill, MA form goals and make decisions that affect the course of events, but they do juliet.schor@bc.edu not make them with total freedom--they form goals and make decisions under pressure from larger structural forces over which no one Lisa has total Peñaloza control, pressures that make some goals easier Sara to Steen achieve and some decisions more College attractive of than Business others. Thus the fact that the corporations Department in the Global of Sociology Justice Game have price of Bus stock 468 for one of their success indicators reflects the 219 pressures Ketchum of Hall financial markets on corporations University of in Colorado the real world. This class should also University help you understand of Colorado how inequalities in power Boulder, play CO out in the real world--even as people decide Boulder, on goals CO and make decisions under pressure, some have an easier time achieving their goals steen@colorado.edu because the social structure is organized in such a way that in favors them and their goals. Finally, this class should help you think about how Jan Phillips social justice movement can best strategize to achieve Joel Stillerman their goals--what means are effective for Department pressuring of governments Social and and corporations to change 2166 the AuSable way they Hall operate. These questions of social Behavioral structure, Science inequalities in power and social change Grand are Valley central State concerns University of sociology, which will University be looking of Southern at specifically Maine/ in the context of economic Allendale, globalization MI and the global justice movement. Lewiston-Auburn For any College of you actively involved in social stillejo@gvsu.edu justice movements, this will also help you think Lewiston, about ME the challenges and opportunities your group faces.

Your Boulder, class participation CO grade will be based both on your involvement in the game and class discussion.

Your first two assignments Melanie Wallendorf will be written in response to your choice among the first five scenarios, with some limitations Department as described of Marketing below. For all five, George there will Ritzer be a set of three questions for you to choose Eller among. College Which of Management question you can answer in Department response to any of Sociology given scenario will depend on which University team you are of Arizona playing. If you are playing a University government of (first Maryland or third world), a multilateral organization Tucson, (the AZ IMF, EU, etc.) or corporation, College you will Park, draw MD on the unit on Neoliberalism and Its Discontents. If you are playing a social movement organization, you will draw on the unit on Globalization from Below. If you are playing a journalist team, you will draw on the unit The Frederick Mass Wherry and Alternative Media. Since J. you Michael may not Ryan answer the same question twice, you will Department need to plan of Sociology ahead to make sure that you Department don t find yourself of Sociology in a position where you can t complete University both of assignments.

150 Laura Miller Designing Your Own Social Juliet Movement Schor Exercise 519 McGuinn Emily Pearlman A. Bowman 103 Indiana Brandeis University 140 Commonwealth Ave. Boston College Waltham, MA Chestnut Hill, MA TEACHING/LEARNING OBJECTIVES & OUTCOMES I Lisa have Peñaloza used the following design-your-own-social movement Sara Steen exercise essentially as a review of College a social of movements Business unit I teach in a broader course Department on social change. of Sociology Although I have used roughly Bus 468 the same exercise as both an individual paper 219 assignment Ketchum and Hall a take-home essay exam question, University I think of Colorado it really works best as a group project University assignment of Colorado that culminates in a classroom presentation. When used as a group assignment, I randomly Boulder, place CO students in groups (generally consisting of 3 to 5 people depending on class size) by steen@colorado.edu having them draw numbers from a hat. Because the groups are randomly selected, group members often initially struggle in making Jan decisions Phillips about what type of social movement they want Joel Stillerman to create since they often have different Department political and of social Social views. and I find these initial group discussions 2166 AuSable are Hall quite interesting as group Behavioral members teach Science each other about social problems they Grand personally Valley find State vexing. University University of Southern Maine/ Allendale, MI Lewiston-Auburn Beyond spurring students College to discuss and teach each other stillejo@gvsu.edu about social problems, the assignment Lewiston, encourages ME students to use their creativity while motivating them to think of ways to ameliorate/solve social issues. It also stimulates extensive Deborah classroom Thorne discussion about these matters and the possibilities and pitfalls of social movement Department activity of Sociology on the day(s) and of Meghan presentation. Ashlin Overall, Rich I think this is an effective group Anthropology assignment because it forces students to Department place themselves of Sociology within a and social Criminal movement, thus facilitating Ohio University a deeper understanding not only of Justice social movement concepts and dynamics, but also of Athens, interplay OH between structure and agency. University of Delaware Newark, DE EXERCISE Melanie Wallendorf Department of Marketing So George you want Ritzer to start your own social movement, huh? Eller College of Management University of Arizona Describe University your of Maryland plan for organizing and managing an ideal Tucson, social AZ movement In writing your response, College Park, you MD can either create your own movement discuss the ways in which you would improve upon a present or past social movement. You need only briefly identify the movement; the overwhelming majority of your response should focus Frederick on demonstrating Wherry and applying your J. knowledge Michael Ryan of social movement dynamics. In constructing Department your response, of Sociology be sure to support your ideas Department with evidence of Sociology from the course readings and lecture University notes. of You Michigan will need to address the following University topics: of Maryland (a) Think of a social movement you are interested in be it currently in action, long since dead, or just a figment of your own imagination. To do this, you may find it helpful to identify a social problem you want to fix. Briefly identify that movement and its goals concerning social change (e.g., What does the movement hope to accomplish? Is the movement focused on promoting or resisting social change?)

151 (b) Laura Identify Miller and describe the adherents/participants, beneficiaries, Juliet Schor and antagonists associated Department with the of movement. Sociology 519 McGuinn Pearlman Commonwealth Ave. (c) Brandeis Given University what you have learned about social movements, Boston if College you were to be the key figure(s) or Waltham, (humor MA me here) the mastermind(s) behind this Chestnut social movement, Hill, MA what steps would you take to ensure (as much as you possibly could) success? How would you convince, encourage, and recruit people to participate in your movement? What strategies and noninstitutional Peñaloza tactics would you use to create opportunities Sara Steen for success? Why do you think Lisa College these of strategies Business and tactics are the best options? Department What types of social Sociology movement Bus organizations 468 (SMOs) would you want to become 219 involved? Ketchum How Hall would the strategies and University tactics used of Colorado by these organizations differ? In what University ways would of Colorado these organizations Boulder, complement CO one another? (d) In the end, how would you measure success or failure of your movement? (i.e. What Jan MUST Phillips be accomplished in order for you to consider Joel your Stillerman movement successful?) What Department barriers would of Social you and face in achieving success? 2166 AuSable Hall Behavioral Science Grand Valley State University University of Southern Maine/ Allendale, MI Lewiston-Auburn POTENTIAL PITFALLS College Lewiston, ME One of the potential pitfalls of using this exercise in class Deborah is the Thorne issue of time. I try to give groups some initial time to work on the project in class, Department but most of Sociology the work on and it will be done outside Meghan of Ashlin class time. Rich I also try to limit groups to 15 Anthropology minute presentations, but find that students often Department become of so Sociology invested and in and Criminal excited about the project Ohio that University they want more time to present their Justice work. Another potential problem is that the exercise Athens, in OH some ways forces students to think a University bit simplistically of Delaware about major social issues. Although I am always prepared as the instructor to remind Newark, students DE that there are many other factors to consider when attempting to solve a social problem, I find that the students themselves usually make Melanie this Wallendorf point either in their own presentations or in response to the presentations of others.

152 Final Laura Assignment: Miller Board Game Neal Pearlman Caren 103 Department Brandeis University of Sociology University Waltham, MA of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Juliet Schor 519 McGuinn 140 Commonwealth Ave. Boston College Chestnut Hill, MA This Lisa Peñaloza is the major assignment for the semester. Working Sara in Steen your group, you will design a board College game about of Business the social movement that you have selected.

Each member of the group will receive the same steen@colorado.edu grade for this assignment. This assignment is in place of both a final exam and a final paper. Plus, there will be a couple of you Jan working Phillips on it. As such, I expect something really, really Joel Stillerman good. Department of Social and 2166 AuSable Hall Behavioral The Sociology Science (50% of Grade) Grand Valley State University As University this is a of sociology Southern class, Maine/ the aspects of social movement Allendale, theory MI that that you incorporate into your Lewiston-Auburn game the most College important part of the project. stillejo@gvsu.edu The rules of your game should be based on your Lewiston, sociologically ME informed understanding of how social movements operate. You should not try to cram everything we cover during the semester Deborah into the game, Thorne but rather the game should reflect your nuanced understanding of the most relevant Department ideas. So of if Sociology you were and Doug McAdam in 1982 Meghan building Ashlin a Rich board game on the civil rights movement, Anthropology you would focus largely on indigenous Department organization of Sociology strength, and Criminal cognitive liberation, Ohio and University political opportunities, and not spend any Justice time on framing. For building your game, you will Athens, probably OH need to draw from more than one University author of or Delaware topic. For example, if your focus were on the media and social movements, you would Newark, also DE want to include things on framing. Finally, the game should not merely mimic what the authors we have read believe, but rather should be Melanie based on Wallendorf your critical understanding of how movements actually function. Should frames be Department divided between of Marketing diagnostic, prognostic and motivational? George Ritzer Explain why you make the distinctions Eller you College do. of Management University of Arizona The University Movement of Maryland (30% of Grade) Tucson, AZ You College should Park, be MD very familiar with the social movement that your game is modeling. It will make the game more interesting, and it is part of your grade. Your game can focus on the entire life span of a movement, or upon a single campaign or event. Frederick Most Wherry of the game should involve J. events Michael that Ryan actually occurred, but it might make sense Department to also allow of Sociology for the path not taken. Movements Department of that Sociology succeed in real life might be able to University fail in your of game. Michigan At the end of your game instructions, University of you Maryland should include a Suggestions for further Ann Arbor, reading MI list, including books and other College resources Park, MD that you found particularly helpful. Two great places for including specific historic details are in the squares that players land on, and on the cards that they draw. The Game (20% of Grade) The third part of your grade is how well the game plays. This doesn t mean that every player has to have an equal chance of winning my guess is that the communists will only take control of Alabama during the depression 1 in 100 times but it does mean everyone should have a chance at winning. Most importantly, it means that the game should be fun

153 You Laura could Miller use a wide variety of currently existing games Juliet as Schor your model for this project, such as Monopoly, Department Life, of Sociology Risk or Chutes and Ladders. The game 519 McGuinn can not be a merely a question and answer Pearlman game, 103 such as Trivial Pursuit or Scruples, and 140 it can t Commonwealth be role playing Ave. game like Dungeons Brandeis University & Dragons. You might want to start by thinking Boston how College you would adapt a current Waltham, game, or you MA could begin from scratch, importing ideas Chestnut from one Hill, game MA or another. juliet.schor@bc.edu Your game should either be a board game of the style of Life and Class Struggle, where you move Lisa Peñaloza from the beginning to the end along a fixed path; Sara a circular Steen route in the style of Monopoly where College players of Business encounter the same squares as they rotate Department along the of board; Sociology or a map game, like Risk. Bus 468 Players could represent either individuals who 219 participate Ketchum in Hall the movement, opposing sides, University the government, of Colorado movement organizations, or just University about anything. of Colorado Think creatively. For me and I grade these things fun games generally steen@colorado.edu involve letting players make decisions. Games where you simply moving along a fixed path based on the dice are generally boring. Importantly, Jan Phillips this is probably also true of good social Joel theory.

163 Imagination Laura Miller Assignment 1 Seeing Social Movements Juliet Schor 519 McGuinn Stephen Pearlman J. 103 Scanlan 140 Commonwealth Ave. Ohio Brandeis University Boston College Waltham, MA Chestnut Hill, MA An important component of studying social movements juliet.schor@bc.edu is seeing their activities unfold. In this regard one can explore their dynamics and outcomes, analyze their tactics, understand social movement Lisa Peñaloza organizations and participants, and get at Sara the reasons Steen for their mobilization and beliefs. College of This Business assignment is an effort to get you into Department the field to of enable Sociology you to see social movement Bus 468 activities. Students can do this in one of two 219 ways: Ketchum 1) Critically Hall evaluating a film for its University significance of Colorado to the study of social movements, be University it in its depiction of Colorado of a social movement or the Boulder, voice CO that it gives to a movement, or 2) Witnessing Boulder, firsthand CO and critically evaluating a social movement activity or collective action event. steen@colorado.edu Jan Option Phillips 1: Sociologically analyzing a film Joel Stillerman Department of Social and 2166 AuSable Hall Behavioral Film is not just Science a component of popular culture or key Grand form Valley of mass State media; University it is also an University important voice of Southern that brings Maine/ relevance to numerous political Allendale, issues MI and debates occurring in Lewiston-Auburn society. In addition College it is a viable means with which to stillejo@gvsu.edu observe social movement activity when it Lewiston, otherwise ME unobservable as when it occurred in the past, or in places other than in our own backyard. With this option, you are to observe a social Deborah movement Thorne depicted in film as if you were in the field and analyze it using the theoretical perspectives, Department ideas, of Sociology and other and tools you have developed Meghan Ashlin sociology. Rich Anthropology and Criminal Ohio University The Justice details and write-up Athens, OH University of Delaware As Newark, when DE observing a real social movement, you want to watch the film and account for its events as if you were trapped in celluloid with its actors and Melanie witnessing Wallendorf it as if reality. Thus, you must try to become engulfed in the activities, characters, images, Department and themes of Marketing of the film so as to George analyze Ritzer the events from a sociological perspective. Eller College of Management University of Arizona University In analyzing of the Maryland film you want to provide not only description Tucson, AZ of events and background of the College social movement/protest Park, MD activities but also must analyze it by considering the following guidelines and questions as appropriate: J. Michael 1. Ryan Can the actions depicted in the film be Department considered of a social Sociology movement or is Department it more of Sociology an example of less permanent or transitory University collective of Michigan action events? How University does of it Maryland fit the definition and conceptualization Ann of social Arbor, movements MI that we have College examined?

Why might this be the case? What does this say about sociology and the study of social movements?

164 Laura 3. Miller Discuss a component of the social movement Juliet Schor dynamics as depicted in the Department film. of There Sociology are a large number of possible options 519 McGuinn here, so be specific with what Pearlman best 103 fits your movement and film. For example, 140 what Commonwealth role does institutional Ave. Brandeis authority University have in provoking or limiting movement Boston activities College or how is the Waltham, movement MA or events surrounding it framed by Chestnut participants Hill, or MA those outside of the movement? Other options include movement juliet.schor@bc.edu decline/history, barriers to mobilization, internal struggles and leadership, bureaucratization, cooptation, Lisa Peñaloza globalization, etc. Sara Steen College 4. of Business Finally, briefly critique the film for its Department usefulness of in capturing Sociology the essence Bus 468 of the social movement of interest and the broader 219 Ketchum study of Hall social movements. University What of were Colorado its strengths and weaknesses? How University close did of it Colorado depict reality as Boulder, opposed CO to being merely Hollywood fluff? steen@colorado.edu These are the essential points that you could consider in your paper, assuming their relevance to the Jan film Phillips of choice. Focus on the elements most appropriate Joel Stillerman for your analysis and feel free to include Department additional of Social extensions and as appropriate. There are 2166 multiple AuSable ways Hall that the write-up for this assignment Behavioral Science can be done depending on the film and social Grand movement Valley State of interest University and the above considerations University of Southern will be easier Maine/ to do for some films than Allendale, for others. MI Lewiston-Auburn College stillejo@gvsu.edu I Lewiston, have attached ME a list of potential films from which you can select as an appendix to this document. I encourage you to select something that Deborah reflects your Thorne interest in a particular social movement. If you have questions about any of these Department please let me of know. Sociology Also, and this list is by no Meghan means exhaustive Ashlin Rich and I am always searching for additional Anthropology options, so if you are interested in Department viewing something of Sociology not on and the list Criminal or give me ideas for Ohio should University be on the list, please let me know. Justice Athens, OH Option University 2: of Sociologically Delaware analyzing a social movement collective action event Newark, DE For this option you can take part at a couple of levels. Melanie You can Wallendorf either fully participate in the activity, thus doing what marchers and protestors do, Department or you can simply of Marketing observe from the sidelines. George Ritzer This choice is yours. The most important Eller thing College is that you of Management enable yourself to become engulfed Department in the of Sociology surroundings of the activities so as to University adequately of describe Arizona and analyze the events from University a sociological of Maryland perspective. This is what the essence Tucson, of fieldwork AZ to study social movements is College all about! Park, MD At the event you want to look for and record a number Frederick of things Wherry including, but certainly not limited J. Michael to the Ryan following considerations: University of Michigan University 1. How of is Maryland this event indicative of a social movement Ann Arbor, as depicted MI in course materials? College That Park, is, MD what makes it a movement? Does it fit with your expectations of what you thought it was going to be? How is it similar to other movements/protest activities?

Describe what people are saying at the event, either in formal speeches or more generally in signs and banners, on clothing, in flyers, or in conversation with

165 Laura Miller participants. Why are people participating? Juliet What are Schor their demands? Why are Department they of here? Sociology 519 McGuinn Pearlman 4. Are 103 there counter-protests?

What MA role did institutional authorities play in Chestnut the day's Hill, events? MA What role did the police have? Were they a large presence? juliet.schor@bc.edu 6. What kind of media presence was there? Did local news and mainstream media Lisa Peñaloza portray events differently than you observed? Sara Steen College 7. How of Business do you feel about participating/observing? Department Why did of you Sociology choose one option Bus 468 versus another? 219 Ketchum Hall While Boulder, in the CO field you will want to record your observations Boulder, as CO carefully as possible, either with a miniature voice recorder or small notebook. A digital steen@colorado.edu cameral is an excellent research tool as well. Thorough field notes and visual or recorded material are essential because the human mind retains Jan Phillips vastly greater details of what is written down Joel or captured Stillerman electronically as opposed to what Department is just heard of Social or seen. and In addition to observations, 2166 interviewing AuSable Hall participants is also a valuable Behavioral source Science of information, enabling you to garner Grand a number Valley of State feelings University and perspectives on the University event. Finally, of Southern it is Maine/ also important to collect other Allendale, data and supplementary MI materials associated Lewiston-Auburn with the College event including various flyers being stillejo@gvsu.edu distributed, newspaper articles, and so forth. Lewiston, Search ME for media coverage of the event prior to and after it takes place. Such archival material has important stories to tell. The more details Deborah you walk Thorne away with from the days events, the better your analysis will be so be a good scavenger. and Meghan Ashlin Rich Anthropology Writing Department up your of Sociology observations and Criminal Ohio University Justice Athens, OH In University general, of I expect Delaware everyone to briefly answer the question "what is a social movement?" using course Newark, materials DE and observations from the day. Then, with regard to the events you witness, you should decide upon a theme to guide their observations Melanie and Wallendorf use this to write the remainder of the paper. See the questions above pertaining to films Department for additional of Marketing ideas. This is what will make George the Ritzer paper scholarly and sociological, as opposed Eller to a College mere reporting of Management of events. The social movement Department or of collective Sociology action event will serve as your University case and of principle Arizona data source. The key is University that you want of Maryland to make observations and use them as Tucson, evidence AZ to support more analytical considerations. General guidelines for both options J.

173 Despite Laura Miller my clarity about the differences and limitations Juliet of Schor my roles, campus administration has accused Department of masterminding Sociology and orchestrating student 519 activities McGuinn when undertaken by groups of which Pearlman I am 103 only a normal member, as well as student 140 activities Commonwealth and organizations Ave. with which I had Brandeis no connection University whatsoever (really). Once my connection Boston College with student activism became known, Waltham, rather MA wild rumours were generated. (My wearied Chestnut chair Hill, would MA call me in and say I m quite sure you are not giving your students extra credit juliet.schor@bc.edu for throwing bricks through Starbucks windows, but I suppose I have to ask because I got a call this morning from a Professor over in... ) Lisa Peñaloza Sara Steen College Furthermore, of Business my connections with student activism Department were of widely Sociology interpreted as directive, despite Bus 468 the fact that I have no history of political activity 219 Ketchum or writing Hall which can be taken to endorse University hierarchical of Colorado organizations. I am continually University puzzled by of how Colorado my peers across the campus, Boulder, who CO like me are frustrated by the failure of our Boulder, maximum CO powers of manipulation at the task of getting students to read, can imagine that I somehow steen@colorado.edu successfully manipulate students to the inconveniences of activism. Jan Phillips Setting out as an assistant professor to do what Joel I thought Stillerman was good sociology by forging Department connections of Social between and the issues in our books, 2166 our campus, AuSable and Hall our society, I have been taken Behavioral by surprise Science when some of my colleagues, whose Grand ideologies Valley and State scholarly University focus differ little from University my own, of Southern have taken Maine/ offense to my public exhortations Allendale, to action. MI I was not aware that I was engaging Lewiston-Auburn in activity College that would be seen as professionally stillejo@gvsu.edu inappropriate by colleagues in sociology Lewiston, departments, ME and by others across the campus who I would have assumed would be allies, based on the political content of their classes and Deborah lectures Thorne (as reported by students). A colleague expresses the same problem: They wanted Department to hire a political of Sociology person, and but it has become Meghan clear Ashlin that Rich the faculty is divided over what that Anthropology means, and few of them think _doing_ politics Department is appropriate. of Sociology The and last Criminal year has been eye-opening Ohio University for me as people I thought were supportive Justice of my political agenda appear to be far more Athens, moderate OH than I am and I am no radical. University of Delaware Newark, I give DE this rather extensive prefatory note not to encourage self-censorship, but because I believe that activist-scholars should be aware of the institutional Melanie Wallendorf interpretations of such work before embarking on it. At the very least, we need to Department be savvy about of Marketing addressing these issues in annual George reviews, Ritzer etc., and in order to do that, we need Eller a sense College of how of such Management work is often misinterpreted Department of or Sociology used against people. The friend quoted University above of goes Arizona to provide some strategic advice: University The of way Maryland I do it now is by wrapping myself Tucson, in the rhetoric AZ of service learning/global citizenship/public College Park, MD sociology/civic engagement...wrap it in their orthodoxy The exercise J. Michael Ryan I Department usually start of by Sociology asking the students if they would like University to have some of Michigan kind of participatory project in University lieu of a of paper Maryland or an exam. They usually say yes. Ann I ask Arbor, them MI what they would like to do. They College usually Park, have MD a lot of good ideas. Several students usually express the desire to do something about one (or all) of the social problems we have been studying during the semester. I ask them if they would like their exam/paper/final project to be actually doing something active together about an issue from the class. Usually about ¾ of the class are enthusiastic about this. (Note I do not lay out terms and conditions yet. Note, the hesitancy of the other ¼ will be addressed later.) I ask them to brainstorm what kinds of things they would like to work on and I write everything they say on the board. (I shortening and clarifying what they say, but staying close to the terms they use. Double-barreled proposals should be broken in two.) I let this go on for

174 minutes Laura Miller or so, eliciting LOTS of ideas and using participatory Juliet Schor methods of trying to hear from nearly Department everyone of Sociology instead of only the ones who have a 519 lot to McGuinn say. I do not react to any of the ideas. Once Pearlman the board 103 is overflowing and I feel that they ve 140 run Commonwealth out of ideas, I stop Ave. and step back and look Brandeis at it with University them. This is a good time to mention how Boston great College it is that they care about all of these Waltham, things MA and how many great ideas they have. Chestnut Hill, MA The things on the board will be of many different juliet.schor@bc.edu types. Some will be a problem like racism or a reference to a course reading. Some will be a recent event on campus, or a national or Lisa international Peñaloza event. Some will be very specific action Sara proposals. Steen Here I do two kinds of filtering. College of First Business I draw connections (lines on the board, Department or making another of Sociology list, without erasing anything) Bus 468 between groups of ideas. I try to get the items Ketchum on the board Hall down to 5-8 issues that capture University almost of Colorado all of the original ideas. (Always, a few University outliers are of Colorado discarded. I am attentive to not Boulder, discarding CO anything that was the only suggestion Boulder, of a particular CO student. I feel more comfortable discarding ideas that were proposed as one steen@colorado.edu of several by a single student.) I give short names to each of these 5-8 ideas, each of which are jumbles of possibilities, different levels, Jan Phillips etc. Then I use some sort of democratic process Joel for Stillerman getting down to one or two of these. (Note Department that at of this Social point, and what they are choosing still contains 2166 AuSable a lot of Hall different possibilities.) I say Behavioral one two Science because at this point I have to make a judgment Grand Valley about State whether University enough of them are University going to be of happy Southern with Maine/ one idea, whether there need Allendale, to be two groups. MI (Personally, I would work Lewiston-Auburn with topics in multiples College of 20 students. In a class of 80, stillejo@gvsu.edu I would have 4 topics. But if I had a class Lewiston, of 20 with ME two really strong interests, I would probably let them have 2 groups.) Also sometimes one of the ideas is problematic because it is not closely Deborah enough Thorne related to course materials or I know that they will not have much to work with if they Department take on that of Sociology issue. Sometimes and I get them Meghan down to three Ashlin and Rich I say that I reserve the right to choose Anthropology one of the three topics, and I ll Department announce my of decision Sociology next and class. Criminal (The authority that Ohio I reserve University as part of this process is not used Justice as my political preference, but to try to make sure that Athens, they will OH have a good organizing University experience, of which Delaware means, that they will find some resources to work with, they will be relatively Newark, safe, they DE will be able to get something accomplished, etc. Sometimes I do not exercise my reserved authority at all, sometimes I do it several times Melanie during Wallendorf a project.) At this point I let them know that I will be announcing Department to of them Marketing the procedures, grading, George etc. for the Ritzer assignment and I emphasize that any student Eller who College becomes of Management uncomfortable with any Department aspect of the of process Sociology at any time, can make a special University arrangement of with Arizona me to get their grade in a University different way of Maryland (more about this below.) Tucson, AZ College Once Park, the MD topics are chosen, its time for some background research and reflection. Betsy Leondar-Wright of MRAP 4 suggests having the students develop research questions about the issue based on the course readings and class discussions. Frederick Kim Bachechi Wherry of MRAP suggests finding J. Michael all of Ryan the organizations in the local area who Department work on this of issue, Sociology and do a little comparison Department of their Sociology approaches. (So as not to bother University these organizations, of Michigan I would instruct the students University to of just Maryland do web research on this. More research Ann comes Arbor, later.) MI College The Park, next MD phase of the process is action planning. I use the attached strategic action planning worksheet, which is a combination of several very similar documents gathered from organizations who do community organizing training. Every student has a copy of this worksheet 4 This write-up comes on the heels of a fantastic discussion of such exercises by the Media Research and Action Group (MRAP) of Boston College and I cannot resist including some ideas generated by that discussion. I have cited each such idea, with permission of the author. I must note that I do not personally have experience with using these ideas, but my experience leads me to include them because I think they would be useful
