【Course Objectives】

Few people would likely challenge the notion that society in some way keeps changing, at least at the level of a rather vague sensibility. Yet most people could find it hard to answer if pressed on matters as who specifically instigates social change, when and how, and what is the nature of impact of such activity on the broader society. In fact, many people probably would not have even been aware that such question might be asked. The instructor regards that the study, investigation and analysis of social movements constitutes a useful component of a good liberal arts education because it enables students to develop one possible analytical tool through which one may be strongly aware of the changes in society and culture. In this course, by introducing the methods for researching on and analyzing social movements, it is hoped that students would develop a habit of thinking clearly and concretely about both the possibilities of, as well as limitations on, social change. Further, a secondary goal of this course is to enable students to develop a clear understanding of some of the major key characteristics of the field of sociology, by taking up the study of social movements as a matter of an exemplar.

【Course Contents】

Mainly lectures, with a couple of discussion sessions - although whether this is feasible or not would depend on the number of students. By the way, within sociology the study of social movements is a relatively well-defined field, compared to many other subject matters. In this sense, most of the topics covered in this class are taken from within the scope of this implicit understanding.
On the other hand, I will talk about topics related to sociology in general, such as sociology of culture, and relations between structure and practice.
