Goal of the course
Drawing on work in the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, geography,
communication studies, political science, and history, this course will investigate why,
when and how collective action for social change occurs, in a wide variety of cultural
and political contexts. By the end of this course you will:



be conversant with an array of social scientific theories and concepts that will
deepen your analysis of historical and contemporary processes of oppositional
collective action;
appreciate the contribution ethnographic and anthropological approaches make
to such analysis; and
grasp the relevance of such analysis to activism and practical action

Final paper………………………………………………………………………25%
1) In-class participation………………..………………..………….………………...10%
This is a seminar course: that means that a large part of what we do together is discuss
assigned materials in light of our understanding, puzzles, experiences, and other
reading. We will discuss assigned readings in detail: what they claim, what their
strengths and weaknesses are, and how they help (and do not help) shed light on
collective action and activism throughout the world. Since these discussions are the
heart of the course, you need to come to class prepared to participate in them. I will be
paying close attention to each student’s participation levels. Be sure to chime in at least
once in every class meeting. The point is not to be brilliant, but to be engaged and
thoughtful. Do not be afraid to say that you don’t understand or agree with a point
made in a reading, by one of your co-students, or by me. You will not be alone!
2
2) 10 reading notes (@400 words each)……...………..……………………………...25%
Students will send reading notes in advance of class meetings to the Discussion Board
on the Blackboard site (located under “Communications”). This will facilitate class
discussions by giving you time to think about what your fellow students have to say
about the readings, and enhance our ability to keep focused on issues of interest. You
are responsible for reading all of your co-students’ posted comments before coming to
class. In the first meeting of the class, you will be assigned to either the “A” or “B”
group. From September 4-October 9, members of group “A” are responsible for
sending reading notes to the Discussion Board by 9:30 pm on MONDAY evenings;
members of group “B” are responsible for sending notes to the Board by 9:30 pm on
WEDNESDAY evenings. From October 11-November 15, members of group “A” are
responsible for sending reading notes to the Discussion Board by 9:30 pm on
WEDNESDAY evenings; members of group “B” are responsible for sending notes to
the Board by 9:30 pm on MONDAY evenings. Here are some questions to keep in
mind as you write your reading notes. You will naturally not address all these
questions for each reading, but they should help you focus.
a) Argument? What key points, claims, or arguments in the readings do you find
particularly important, compelling or significant, and why?
b) Clarification? What if anything in the readings do you feel puzzled by?
c) Questions? What questions does each reading provoke in you? What are some
questions you think would be good for the class to discuss?
d) Connections between readings? What is the relationship between the two
readings? Do they complement or complicate each other in any way? How do the
readings relate to works in earlier class meetings?
e) Your own experience & reading? Do either of the readings remind you of
anything from your own experience or other reading? What new light do they
shed on those experiences or reading?
f) Practice? Does the article provide insights potentially useful to someone trying to
be a more effective activist? If so, what?
g) Critique? What points in the readings do you feel were wrong, superficial, or
problematic?
Each set of notes is worth 2.5% of your final grade. Responses will be graded “A”, ‘B”,
or “C”: an “A” means that you have shown clarity, seriousness, thoroughness and
originality of thought; “B” means you have shown clarity and seriousness, but less
thoroughness or originality; “C” means that I judge you are showing less clarity and
seriousness; and no or little thoroughness or originality.

3) Two analyses of current events (1200 words each – approx. 3.5 double-spaced
pages)
Analysis 1 (due Friday, Oct 12)…………………………………………..10%
Analysis 2 (due Friday, Nov 16)…………………………………...…….15%
Starting in early September, you will begin to monitor contemporary news via outlets
such as the New York Times, Al Jaazira, CNN, Democracy Now, or Huffington Post, in
order to identify two or three ongoing stories about mobilization, activism, or collective
action unfolding somewhere in the world. Two of these will become your cases for
short analytic papers, in which you will apply theoretical concepts covered in the
seminar. The best papers will include some (not a lot) of outside scholarly reading
about the issue or group you are looking at. These papers are not intended to get you to
undertake lots of outside research; they are intended to help you learn how analyze
real, contemporary episodes of collective action.
Each analysis will be a 1200-word commentary on a collective action episode, event or
movement you read about in the news. The analyses must be sent to me as an e-mail
attachment by 9:30 pm on the Friday they are due.
Each analysis should be in the form of a white paper, submitted (hypothetically) to an
advocacy organization, activist group, NGO, or governmental agency. The analysis may
utilize one or both of the following analytical strategies: 1) the direct application of
some concept, theory, idea or tool we have been learning about in class, to the material
you have found in the news reports; 2) articulation of questions and research strategies
to investigate the episode, event or movement more analytically. You should feel free to
use the material from your monitoring of the news in our discussions throughout the
semester.
4
4) In-class presentation of reading……………..……………………………………..5%
On Thursday, August 30, you will pick a date from hat & tell me the date you picked.
The presentation readings are posted on Blackboard for each date under the rubric
“Presentation”. In preparation for your presentation, you are responsible for:
1) doing the presentation reading posted on Blackboard (and identified on the
syllabus)
2) preparing the presentation. This should be 10-15 minutes long. In the
presentation you do the following:
a. explain the key points of the presentation reading
b. explain how the presentation reading relates to the assigned joint
readings.
c. Be sure to concentrate on the reading’s contributions; don’t spend most of
your time criticizing it
3) Following the presentation, there will be a 10-15 minute discussion. Your
audience will pose questions to you about the reading you have reported on,
and/or will comment on what the reading suggests in relation to the assigned
readings, or other things. Your job is to reply to each questoner: either by
addressing his or her question directly, or by connecting the question to
something you know. If you do not have an answer to a question, just say “I
don’t know.”

Term project
Overall description of project
For the purpose of this project, you must imagine that you have been recruited by an
advocacy group, NGO, activist network, government, UN agency, or some other
organization to prepare an analytical report on a concrete example or episode of
mobilization, activism, collective action, organizing, or social movement somewhere in
the world. The example may be either historical or contemporary.
What is an analytical report?
An “analytical report” must go beyond a mere description of the example or episode,
and probe the causes, forces and dynamics at work within it. “Analysis” involves
addressing questions such as: Why did the movement or mobilization emerge when it
did? What is its social composition? Is it strong or fragile, and if so, why? What is the
nature of its ideology and strategy, and why did its leaders adopt these? How does
leadership in the movement function? What practices of decision-making has emerged
in it, and how are these pushing the limits of current models of democracy? What
impacts on consciousness, practice, policy and law is the movement having? How is it
reshaping, in small or large ways, the trajectory of neoliberal modes of governance and
power? These are just examples; as you proceed through the course, numerous other
analytical questions will suggest themselves to you.
At least five theoretical concepts
The paper must include a detailed application of at least five (5) of the theoretical
concepts offered by the course. Since you will be reading works often framed by
concepts other than those used in the course, it will be natural to refer to those other
concepts. However, over the course of the paper, you must use at least five (5) of the
conceptual tools developed in this course. You may use the tools to help organize the
paper into themes; to critique the analysis of the scholars you have read; and/or to
subject the tools themselves to critique in dialogue with the scholarly work you have
read.
Inclusion of anthropology and/or ethnographic work
At least some of the material you consult for the paper mist be authored by a
professional anthropologist and/or be based on ethnographic research.
6
The key components of the project
Your work in preparing the final report has four components: a) a meeting with me; b) a
proposal; c) an in-class presentation; and d) the final report. You must deliver the report
to me as an e-mail attachment no later than Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The paper is
10-12 pages in length for undergraduates, 14-16 pages for graduate students.
a) Meeting with me
You must meet with me to select your topic by no later than Friday, October 19th. Here
are the key criteria for selecting a topic: You are interested in it; and a high-quality
published scholarship about the topic exists. I cannot emphasize this point enough.
Many students decide to research topics about which there is little published research. I
will help you zero in and find topics about which there is a rich scholarly literature.
Failure to meet with me will result in the loss of one full grade in the evaluation of
your final paper.
b) Project proposal (due Friday November 2)………………….……………….5%
A 2-page proposal is due as an attachment no later than Friday, October 26. The first
page of the proposal must explain, in no fewer than three paragraphs, the topic and
questions you plan to investigate in the project; the second page must list the resources
you plan to consult. The paper must be based on scholarly publication (articles and
books): for undergraduate students, at least 250 pages of scholarly publications (e.g.,
one 200-page book and two 25-page articles; one 150 page book and four 25-page
articles; ten 25-page articles, etc.); for graduate students, the minimum is at least 350
pages. This material must be readily accessible and clearly cited in your bibliography.
At least one book or article must be authored by a professional anthropologist and/or
be based on ethnographic research (we will talk more about this as the course
proceeds).
c) In-class presentation either November 29, December 4, or December
6…………5%
This is a 10-minute in-class presentation. We will draw lots to identify which day you
will present; we will discuss content of presentation later in the semester.
d) Final paper due Tuesday, December 11…………………..…………...……25%

GENERAL POLICIES
Class courtesy: Please come to class on time. Once class begins, refrain from personal
conversations. Please put away all non-course reading materials. Turn off and put away
all cell phones. There is obviously no texting allowed during class. Please avoid
premature preparations to leave class.
Laptop policy: This is a “no open laptop” course. Hard experience over the years has
convinced me that laptops in the classroom are a distraction. (If you need to use a
laptop because of a special need or disability, please see me.) Noble hopes that one will
limit one’s use of the Internet only to course-related materials slip sooner or later into
checking e-mail and browsing unrelated sites. I want you all to be 100% present in our
discussions, not checking Facebook. The quality of class discussions is directly
proportional to how much attention we give to the people physically in the room.
Plagiarism: I will not tolerate plagiarism or any other forms of cheating. If I find a case
of cheating, you will receive an F on the assignment, possibly for the course, and will be
reported to the relevant college administrator.
Paraphrasing: Avoid using long direct quotations of readings and/or lecture
notes. Instead it is better to paraphrase those ideas, that is, to explain the ideas
from the readings or the lectures or films using you own words. However, when
you paraphrase, you MUST STILL CITE THE SOURCE of the idea. If you fail to
cite the source, you are implying that it is your own idea, and that is plagiarism.
Direct quotations: If you use direct quotations, then you must put the quotation
within quotation marks and use the correct citation following the quotation. The
format to be used for citations will be handed out with the first paper
assignment.
For more information on plagiarism and the Syracuse University Compact on
Academic Honesty please see http://www-hl.syr.edu/caspages/PromAcademicHonesty.htm
Students with disabilities who have registered with the Office of Disability Services
should see me about accommodations to your needs.
