POLI 173 SC - Remaking the Self and Changing the World: Social Movements in the Middle East and United States
How do social movements change the world by changing ideas, identities, and norms about the public good? How do they introduce new actors and forms of activism into the political sphere? How do activists frame and mobilize social norms and identities, tap emotions, and build new embodied and virtual networks for political goals, and what makes them succeed or fail? This class explores these questions in comparative context, through cases spanning the Christian Right and AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power in the United States, Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Syria, religious and gendered activism in Saudi Arabia, Palestinian militants, and transnational human rights networks. Meets Social Science general education requirement.
