【Course Objectives】

The goals of this course are to
(1) Understand the main theories and methods of social movement studies, and compare their strengths and weaknesses.
(2) Apply the theory and method of social movement studies to each research on community development and social policy.

【Course Contents】

In recent years, social movements such as anti-nuclear movement and anti-security legislation movement in Japan, and the #MeToo movement and the Black Lives Matter movement in the world have been attracting attention again as the actors that change society. In addition, lobbying (advocacy) by NPOs has come to influence policies on themes such as anti-poverty, LGBT, and suicide countermeasures. In order to analyze these social movements, theories and methods of social movement studies have been accumulated in sociology and political science.
This course aims to learn the theory and methods of social movement studies in order to understand the dynamic aspects of community development and social policy. In the first half, we will read recent social movement-related literature (including English literature if necessary) by turns. In the second half, each student will make a presentation about their concerns and discuss it with everyone. By the end of the course, students should apply social movement studies to each research on community development and social policy.
