Social movements and protest have become permanent features of the contemporary social landscape, constantly challenging political institutions and other forms of institutional and cultural authority. These challenges to authority emerge both in contexts where there is little hope for people to gain redress through more conventional means for affecting change, and in democratic contexts where we would expect more readily available direct routes to influence. In this seminar, we examine how and why movements emerge and develop, and what kinds of influence they might create.

Collegeliterally just hate this class do NOT take it
I give my professors a lot of grace because I understand their work is difficult, but Professor Parker was by far the worst professor I've ever taken at ANY COLLEGE. He is passive-aggressive, changed the syllabus in week 9, and dropped half the class to a W due to unexpected participation grading. DO NOT TAKE HIM! He wants to see students fail.
You will need to actively participate in his classes to be on his good side. You will need to attend the sections to be fully caught up on course material. You will need to be ready to defend your opinions in class. If you do not like this, then do not take his courses. If you like challenges, then take his courses.
Do not take any classes with Parker. He doesn't stick to a syllabus and it will ruin your grade.
RUDE is a very disrespectful professor. Wants to see his students fail. Don't bother wasting your money on taking this class, he comes late or cancels the class. His slides are a bunch of random things, and the overall lecture is him venting about his life and his boring opinions. Changed the format of the final last minute because he wanted to.
This class has been a profound disappointment. He has a consistent lack of professionalism and respect towards students. The professor's habitual tardiness and apparent pride in lowering students' grades not only make this class hard but makes me want to drop. He also makes Passive-aggressive remarks towards students.
