Why Study Social Movements?
Sociologists study social movements to understand how collective action can transform social order, cultural values and ideologies, economic relations, and hierarchies. Professional sociologists study strategies used to establish connections among organizers and explore how people and ideas migrate, generating transnational connections.
Oklahoma State University faculty interests include: environmental movements, organization networks, anti-environmentalism as a counter-movement, group processes, social networks and political sociology.
Faculty: Dr. Jonathan Coley, Dr. Monica Whitham, Dr. Tamara Mix, Dr. Chad Malone, Dr. Andrew Fullerton
