Intro to Social Movement Theory

Made for my students in C&E Soc 541: Environmental Stewardship and Social Justice. Provides an introduction to four major schools of social movement theory: collective behavior, resource mobilization theory, political process theory, and new social movements.

Thank you for sharing this, very informative and nicely done! A minor comment: the points on the Collective Behaviour slide sound a lot like Gustave Le Bon's "The Crowd", i.e. a European scholar and a piece dating from the late 19th century.

"Theorizing social movements first began with the gradual appearance of the Collective Behavior (CB) tradition, leaning heavily on Gustav Le Bon’s conceptualizations depicting the protestors as ‘mass behavior’ which consisted of ‘emotional’ driven ‘irrational’ crowds going berserk" (Bensky and Langman 2013).
