POSC 383 - The Politics of Protest Credit Hours: 4 Frequency of Offering: Offered in alternate years, usually in the fall semester
Protest deals with collective political behavior that is outside institutional politics, and includes activities such as demonstrations and strikes. These activities are outside regular channels of access to the government, even in democratic societies. However, even though they are often used by citizens to press for redress of grievances, they do not often get adequate attention in the discipline. This course provides students with a theoretical framework that can help them make sense of such political activities, and as such, the class helps to supplement their political science education by expanding the kinds of political phenomena that students can understand and explain.
