Social dissent has been a persistent, perhaps necessary, feature of modern (capitalist, bureaucratic, technocratic, patriarchal) societies. This course explores common themes in how dissent has been voiced and alternatives have been envisioned in the 20th century. The course also charts the development of new organizational forms and tactics of dissent, in particular the use of new technologies and international networks. Students can use the course to become more informed participants in public affairs, or as a basis for advanced social scientific research. The most important objective of the course is to involve students in current debates about social change and social justice. Three credits.
