| Description: | PSC-210-01=PPE-238-01-BLS-280-05 This course examines the role of protest as a means of political expression that has been used by a variety of political actors seeking to change the policies and political practices of the United States throughout its history. The focus will be on two overarching questions: Why has protest been such a fixture of American politics? And to what extent does it actually influence public policy outcomes? In addition to considering frameworks for making sense of the role of protest in the development of US public policy in general, we'll take a close look at the experiences of three specific protest movements: the mid-twentieth-century Civil Rights Movement; the Tea Party, and the contemporary Environmental Justice Movement. Students will also have the opportunity to research the policy impact of a US-based protest initiative of their choosing. |
