SOC 63578: Social Movements and Politics Training Seminar

(aka Studies in Politics And Movements)

Spring 2012

Description & Format

This seminar is designed to expose people to debates, issues, and topics in the social movements and contentious politics scholarship (broadly defined) and to provide feedback on research projects and papers. Presenters should send their papers to NDSPM@LISTSERV.ND.EDU or to Kraig Beyerlein (seminar organizer) no later than a week before they present, so people have sufficient time to read the paper and prepare comments. Though it is not required, presenters may choose to introduce their papers. Please keep any introductory remarks to 5 minutes or less. Discussants are asked to limit their remarks to about 10 minutes and to focus on the broader issues of the paper. After the discussant finishes, the floor is open and everyone is encouraged to give the presenter additional feedback. Each session lasts for an hour, and the custom is that discussants bring snacks for other participants. If you have any questions about the seminar, please email the seminar organizer (see contact information below).
