It looks at reproduction in the broader structural (socioeconomic and political) contexts in which it is situated.

This course explores ideas and practices of political protest and dissent through a range of cases drawn from around the globe and utilizing the comparative method. We will explore such questions as, Why do people protest? Against whom or what is protest directed? To achieve what ends? What forms of protest are employed? While political activism, marches, riots, strikes, and other tried-and-true forms of protest are easily recognizable, what are the other ways in which individuals and groups might register or express political dissent?
