Here you will find information on our people and programs. Department members are actively engaged in research in sociology and criminology while maintaining a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate education. Historically, comparative sociology (often focusing on Latin America) and criminology have been major strengths of the Department. This is still the case, but Department interests are also wider ranging: gender, work and organizations, social movements, race and ethnicity, the Southwest, medical sociology, and social welfare are areas of great faculty and student interest. A variety of other areas are represented among our faculty and students as well. The Department offers graduate (MA and PhD) degrees in sociology, undergraduate (BA) degrees in sociology and criminology, and an undergraduate minor in social welfare.

http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/toolsforchange/ma.html

Extractions: This is an open invitation to people who are involved in or actively supporting social movements, and who would like to explore the idea of researching and thinking about those movements in a supportive semi-formal context, leading to a Master's degree (MLitt) or PhD in sociology. The idea is to provide intellectual resources for social movements - such as the anti-globalisation movement, ecology, community development, feminism or alternative media - through participatory research geared to movement needs, as well as giving activists an opportunity for personal development which is supportive of their activism. The general area of research is social movement practice - what we do as activists, and how we could do it better. For the last seven years I've been developing a small-scale postgraduate research programme (MA / MLitt or PhD) along these lines, from 1996 to 2000 at the Centre for Research on Environment and Community (CREC) in Waterford Institute of Technology , and now in the

http://www.eco.utexas.edu/faculty/Cleaver/polnet.html

Extractions: Computer-linked Social Movements and the Global Threat to Capitalism Recent writings on the spread of widespread, computer communications have found them playing new roles in all kinds of social conflict: in the activities of terrorists, drug cartels, illegal arms merchants, nation-states, advocacy groups and social movements. The content of these roles differ from hacker break-ins and extortion demands, to the circulation of information on the Internet but they all involve the use of modern computer technologies as weapons of criminal acts or political struggle. Clarifying the importance of communications in such conflict areas depends on the examination of case studies. Case studies, in turn require us to narrow our focus and select a specific area of conflict for closer scrutiny. How to choose? In general this question is being answered by individuals according to their own interests and by funding agencies according to their priority of worries. Everyone, I assume, wonders "in which area of conflict are the effects of these new behaviors and organizational forms likely to be the most profound?" Of all the areas mentioned above, I argue that the area developing in ways most likely to produce profound effects is that of broad-based social movements. The reasons for this view are simple.

Extractions: Deakin UniversityGeelong kemmis@deakin.edu.au Abstract: Large-scale policy research on topics of concern to teachers may assist in changing educational theory, policy and practice, as may educational action research. This article discusses different traditions of action research in relation to their views about the connection of research and social movement, touching on the so-called "macro-micro" problem which bedevils conceptualizations of this relationship. Kurt Lewin is usually asserted to be the "father" of action research, especially in social psychology and education (for example, Kemmis, 1988: 29). For most purposes, this is a reasonable attribution. However, Altrichter and Gstettner (forthcoming) have recently thrown a little light on Lewin's "paternity" of AR. When Lewin went to the US, he had been much influenced by Moreno, the inventor of group dynamics and sociodrama and psychodrama. Moreno had already developed a view of action research in which the "action" was about activism, not just about changing practice or behaviour understood in narrowly individualistic terms. Moreno was interested in research as a part of social movement.
Thinking Through Action: Twentieth-Century Social Movements And Their Legacy

Extractions: Proceedings Photo Gallery Website Archive On June 10-12, 2005, The History Department of Simon Fraser University held "Thinking Through Action: Twentieth-Century Social Movements and their Legacy," a conference at SFU's Harbour Centre campus (see conference archive). Among the featured presenters was our keynote speaker, TransAfrica Forum founder Bill Fletcher, Jr. , along with Canadian womens movement leader and Rabble.ca editor Judy Rebick , peace movement organizer David Cortright , Vancouver peace activist and union organizer Mable Elmore , and distinguished movement scholars Michael Honey David McNally, Audra Simpson, Mark Solomon, Nikhil Pal Singh, and Michael Zweig The conference brought together a diverse group of over 200 scholars and organizers from across North America to discuss how the history of social movements in Canada and the United States can broaden our vision of the challenges facing todays struggles, including the globalization of social justice issues, the ongoing retrogressive clawback of twentieth-century social movements policy achievements, and a hostile political climate. The program included panels on issues vital to organizing today , including ones on building a democratic culture, the necessity and challenges of coalition building, the impact of movements on electoral politics, labour and social justice, organizing poor peoples movements, and the struggles and balance between rights-based reform and social transformation, among many others.

http://www.sfu.ca/~hackett/CriticalSocialMovements.htm

Extractions: CRITICAL SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND MEDIA REFORM By Robert A. Hackett (Simon Fraser University) and William K. Carroll (University of Victoria). A version of this article was published in Media Development , January 2004 (www.wacc.org.uk). Democracy has never been a gift handed down from elites. It is a hard-won prize, perennially threatened by attempts at economic, cultural and political enclosure, as in the commodification of biogenetic knowledge, the concentration of media ownership and control and the securitization of the state (McNally 2002). Whether defined around gendered, ethnic, national, class, environmental or other interests, social movements have long been the carriers of liberatory social change. Critical social movements (CSMs) movements committed to empowerment of the marginalized, movements that challenge the hegemonies of dominant groups and institutions are key to revitalizing democracy today. The work of CSMs benefits millions of citizens, who are not members and may not even be aware of the work of the labor movement or of various NGOs active on human rights issues. Without doubt, the struggle for communication rights is one of the most important democratizing struggles of the current era.

http://www.everystudent.com/features/feelme.html

Extractions: "We are the people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in the universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit." "I rap about my life, and I rap about it in the hardest, most blatant sense. I consider what I say as real. This is the way the world I come from is. This is the way I talk and I live. This is the only way I can be." Whenever a group of people is locked within the margins of American social discourse, that community may find it necessary to scream or chant or rap to be heard. It should come as no surprise, then, that alienation serves to be the catalyst for counter-cultural movements. The ache of the reverberating "What about me?" coupled with the systematic muting of your inquiry, provides the primary ingredients for revolutionary stew; the spicier the better. But alienation and frustration does not a meal make. Discontentment is only the beginning. What usually follows is the mobilization, education and deployment of like-minded individuals. In theory, the movement that once was a fractured and disorganized cadre becomes a knowledgeable, harmonious unit like circumstance and like cause lead to like action. Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely.
