Learning Objectives: Activism and New Care Movements
1) Define a "social movement" and identify the alignment between the three social movement theories used to explain the emergence of social movements--framing, resource mobilizing, political opportunity-- and the three umbrella approaches used to explain the emergence of social problems --symbolic-interactionism, functionalism, conflict-- more broadly. (Lecture, Polletta)

2) Analyze the possible intended and unintended outcomes of social movement activism, especially as they relate to institutional strategies and extra-institutional strategies for addressing social problems. (Meyer, Lecture)

3) Define and explain "care work" and why social movements led by care workers, or new care movements, directly challenge structural violence that is a root cause of contemporary social problems. (Duffy)
