Social Movements to Pick From, 2021

 You can pick any movement, not just these. The links here are to academic sources that will give some details and analysis and suggest a place to start as you look for texts produced and performed by your movement. Remember, you are not analyzing these articles. You are analyzing primary sources from the movements themselves. This is just a head start on your work for you.


You can pick other movements, as well. When you sign up in the comments, just be VERY specific so that people know what you are doing. Do not, for example, say "feminism." Well, that covers a lot of individual movements people could be analyzing.

Use the comments to sign up for movements. CHECK what other people signed up for. On the last assignment people didn't check and signed up for the same things.

You can use the "social movements" labels on the left side here to see how students in previous years worked with their data. Note: Feel free to utilize good ideas from students who analyzed the movement you are choosing, but be sure to cite their work in your own work. Consider those students scholars you would cite. Some day the same might happen to you with your work on this blog.
