The study of social change and transformation has always been at the core of sociology, and social movements and collective action are key areas of sociological analysis. This course provides an exploration of some contemporary European social movements (20th/21st century) and the theoretical perspectives that have been developed to analyze them and inspire them. The links between theory and action will also be explored. After presenting an initial overview of social movement theory, we will explore such areas as New Social movement theory and movements, European Feminist Theory and movements, Autonomous theory and movements, and Nationalist theory and movements.
