Document Summary
Exam #1, which is worth 20%, is on october 8. I"ve posted an example of what the exam might look like on eclass. Heavy hitters in social movements scholarship are political process/opportunity and resource mobilization theories. Call this pairing or grouping the contentious politics paradigm.

The word is often inserted uncritically wherever there is a movement-related idea being de ned or debated. Social movements have long used media and technology. Facebook is mainly used to maintain existing o ine relationships or solidify o ine connections, as opposed to meeting new people. Relationships may be weak ties, which means that they"re acquaintances who are less likely to be socially involved with one another.
