▼ Research on
social movement consequences has overwhelmingly focused on
social movement-induced political or policy change. In this paper, I draw on data from interviews with LGBT activists at a Christian university to illustrate the possibility of
social movement-induced religious change, both at the level of biography and culture. I also examine the role of “bridge groups,” organizations that bring together two or more groups for the purpose of fostering dialogue and promoting change within their wider communities, in facilitating religious change. The findings point to new directions for the study of biographical and cultural consequences of
social movements, as well as for understanding the process of “bridging work” or “bridge building” in
social movements.

▼ Agrifood scholars have described current Alternative Agrifood
Movements (AAMs) as convergent efforts to challenge the status quo agrifood system that are nonetheless characterized by diverse foci which potentially limit their prospects to form a cohesive challenge. Organizations play a key role in mobilization processes, but a systematic empirical examination of the organizations that comprise AAMs and the specific ways they converge and diverge across many AAMs is lacking. Clarifying patterns of convergence and divergence in the AAM organizational field is a necessary step to understanding the mobilization potential of these
movements. This research investigated how patterns of issue selection among a sample of U.S. national agrifood organizations (N=690) manifested convergence and diversity in an agrifood field that included both AAM organizations and their potential opponents. The research applied cluster analysis techniques to categorize the organizational field by the combination of issues an organization selected—or issue orientation—to demonstrate the diverse organizational perspectives on agrifood issues. These clusters corresponded to the mesomobilization potential of organizations with similar issue orientations, and comparison tests of resource capacity and strategy measures demonstrated variation across clusters. Negative binomial regression analyses modeled issue orientation as a predictor of a
social movement outcome—gaining acceptance—that was operationalized as providing testimony on agrifood topics at Congressional hearings. Results showed that national agrifood organizations broadly fit into clusters of either Status Quo, AAM, or diet-related health/food security issue orientations. At a more fine-grain level, a second cluster solution demonstrated that AAMs and diet-related health/food security clusters were comprised of five distinct sub-clusters that revealed further patterns of issue diversity in the field, corresponding to varied resource levels and strategic approaches that characterized the mesomobilization potential of each cluster. Although in bivariate tests, Status Quo agrifood organizations were more likely than all other clusters to provide Congressional testimony in both cluster solutions, when controlling for resources and strategies, environmentally-focused AAM organizations were similar to Status Quo organizations in being significantly more likely than other sub-clusters to gain acceptance through Congressional hearings. This research developed a unique inventory of national agrifood organizations across a range of issues and demonstrated complex patterns of convergence and divergence among national-level agrifood organizations that can inform practitioner knowledge about their potential to work across diverse issues and gain access to political leaders.

▼ This is the first focused study of the Society of the Muslim Brotherhood, the most influential and organised social and political movement in Kuwait, from its beginnings in 1946up to2000. It focuses on the circumstances surrounding the emergence and development of the Muslim Brotherhood as part of a general Islamic revival in Kuwait. It argues that the Muslim Brotherhood was driven first and foremost by cultural considerations and that Kuwaiti secularists regarded it as a challenge to their growing influence in both the political domain (traditionally controlled by the ruling family) and the social domain (historically under the control of the religious establishment). The resulting conflict with secularists over the social domain posed a serious threat to the Muslim Brotherhood who considered themselves an extension of the traditional religious establishment. They also viewed the secularists’ attempts to reshape Kuwaiti identity as a threat to Kuwait’s Islamic identity. This prompted the Muslim Brotherhood to channel all their social, educational and political efforts towards reclaiming the social domain. This study focuses also on the mechanisms adopted by the Muslim Brotherhood, ones which combined Islamic values with modern mobilisation strategies producing a dynamic Islamist movement seeking to revive the golden age of Islam through modern means. The movement maintained a pyramid hierarchy and it refashioned modern economic theory to make it more compatible with Islamic teachings. It also established a Muslim Boy Scouts movement and an Islamic press, while it reformed other organisations to make them compatible with Islamic values. All this was done in an effort to implement Hasan al-Banna’s vision of fashioning a pious Muslim individual, a virtuous family and, finally, a true Muslim state. The Muslim Brotherhood’s comprehensive and sweeping agenda seeks the complete transformation of social conditions. The Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait was not very different from its mother organisation in Egypt. It played a pioneering role in revising Islamic banking, developing charity work and challenging secularism. The Kuwaiti political system supported the Muslim Brotherhood in its struggle against secularists, but the Muslim Brotherhood nonetheless stayed out of politics, focusing on rehabilitating the social domain, in the interests of maintaining on good terms with the ruling family.

▼ Governments have done little to address poverty and homelessness despite awareness of the increasing number of people affected by these issues. Neoliberalizing processes and resulting federal and provincial
social policy changes since the 1980s have driven the decimation of Canada’s welfare state and contributed to expanding inequalities that systematically privilege a wealthy few at the expense of the balance of Canadians, particularly those living in poverty. Collective resistances may be the best available and most powerful tool people in poverty, including those who experience homelessness, possess to challenge government policy directions and outcomes that marginalize their voices, needs, and wants.
The literature on collective action of people in poverty and who experience homelessness is sparse. Scholarship incorporating the voices of people who experience homelessness and participate in collective action is meager within this small body of literature. The role agency plays in individual behaviors and how such choices may be shaped by
social conditions, is relatively unexamined. An activist ethnography, with structural violence as described by Paul Farmer as the critical frame, was used to explore the role various types of agency played in collective actions of people with experiences of homelessness or experience housing insecurity in the Capital Region of British Columbia.
Primary questions guiding the research were “What were participants’ experiences of collective change efforts? How may these efforts be understood within a structural violence framework? To answer these questions I chronicle and critically examine the challenges and successes of “The Committee”, a group of housed and unhoused activists as one example of collective actors that ‘push back’ against processes and practices that produce and reproduce homelessness.
Findings suggest that structurally violent processes generate embodied outcomes, lived experiences that constrain agency, often working to exclude people with experience of homelessness from collective resistances. Participation of people who are actively homeless or with experiences of homelessness in collective resistances requires attending to basic material needs and daily life issues in ways that allow meaningful participation in organizing work as a precursor to collective action. Allies can reproduce structures of violence and contribute to dismantling those same structures. Relationships between people with experience of homelessness and allies may work to mitigate unequal power relations, allowing some people with experiences of homelessness opportunities for participation in collective resistances not otherwise available to them. Implications for grassroots organizing and inclusion of people with experience of homelessness in collective resistances are included.

▼ The men’s rights movement (MRM) is a loosely affiliated collection of primarily online communities that together form a substantial component of a broader constellation of online men’s groups known as the “manosphere”. Though the specific ideologies that comprise the core of the modern MRM have existed since the mid-1970s, it was not until the advent of modern online communications that the movement was able to iterate into the form it is today. This research project examines the MRM as a form of reactionary countermovement, rooted in a collective sense of grievance, which directs knowledge producers and movement participants alike to engage in collective identity construction and in-group boundary maintenance through a shared, collaboratively developed countermemory. The research, composed of a qualitative analysis of MRM-produced texts found across more than thirty websites and online communities, indicates that the bulk of MRM literature and online activity facilitates the maintenance of this countermemory and to enable the movement to challenge its ideological opponents. Additionally, through a limited number of narrative interviews with members of pro-feminist men’s groups, this research contrasts the inward-facing orientation of MRM knowledge production and activity against that of pro-feminist men’s organizations, which engage in outward-facing, community-focused activism rooted in a shared sense of responsibility. This dissertation contributes to
social movement theory by illustrating how online
movements make use of virtual space through the construction of what I term virtual geographies to facilitate identity construction and knowledge transmission. The MRM makes use of these spaces to construct alternative discursive frameworks – countermemory – which allow for a reconceptualization of men’s
social position from one of privilege and dominance, to one of marginalization and oppression.

▼ In this dissertation, I trace the biographical pathways of activists mobilizing to make Christian colleges and universities more inclusive of LGBTQ students. Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 65 LGBTQ student activists at four Christian universities – which were selected on the basis of a quantitative analysis of all Christian universities in the U.S. – I first identify multiple pathways that students follow into LGBTQ groups. I show that while students with highly politicized identities seem to have been “raised” as activists, students with salient religious and sexual identities often join these groups after undergoing intensive re-socialization. Second, I show that participants commit to LGBTQ groups when they perceive a “fit” between their identities and the types of LGBTQ groups available to them, including direct action, educational, and solidarity groups. Finally, I show that participants pursue a range of post-graduation pathways that resonate with their identities, from political campaigns to humanistic careers to intentional relationships. The findings extend existing theories of activist group participation by challenging assumptions about the characteristics of “activists,” the purpose of “activist groups,” and ultimately the nature of “activism” itself.

▼ Little past research has examined how the partitioning of the white supremacist
social movement industry (SMI) compares to other SMIs. This is in spite of evidence that organizations within this SMI may be unique in their deployment of protest tactics and willingness to utilize violence. Scholarly analysis of other SMIs indicates that identifying diversity in organizational characteristics like professionalization, membership, frames, and organizational strategies is useful for partitioning SMIs. By evaluating the white supremacist SMI in terms of these four organizational characteristics, this study finds substantial evidence that there are eight distinct organizational clusters operating within the white supremacist SMI, that this diversity is driven by deployed organizational strategies, and that this SMI is unique in its use of violence and willingness to deploy a merchandizing-based organizational strategy. These findings provide both an alternative framework through which to understand diversity in the SMI of white supremacy, as well as evidence that the SMI of white supremacy is distinct within the US
social movement sector in its deployment of violence and the merchandizing organizational strategies.

▼ This research project maps out the development of Syrian civil society since the 2011 uprisings. To do so, it discusses president Bashar al-Assad's rule during the decade prior to the uprisings, to understand his contrasting policies towards and harsh repression of the independent civil society sector. Consequently, it describes the manner in which independent civil society has developed since 2011, linking it to rebel civil governance. Finally, the research project concludes with a case study of a CSO founded in 2011. The case study provides insight into the struggles and opportunities of the sector on a concrete level.

▼ Collective Memory Work (CMW) and Political Activist Ethnography (PAE) are two modes of social enquiry that developed out of the second-wave feminist movement. Based in a Marxist-feminist perspective on social movements, they discuss the relationship between the everyday life experiences of activists, and the social circumstances which form those experiences. While both take everyday experience to be their point of departure, PAE reaches out ethnographically to explore the textually mediated relations of ruling that organize those experiences. CMW uses textual accounts of activists' memories to investigate how they participate in their own oppression. This study explores whether the two modes enquiry are compatible and can be used alongside each other. Completed memory work and political activist ethnography research in social movement contexts will be analysed and synthesized to understand the compatibilities, and contradictions between the two modes of enquiry, as well as the limits and potential benefits of their combination.

▼ In recent decades, social movements in general and Social Movement Organisations (SMOs) in particular have been going through processes of professionalisation, adopting market goals and methods, and employing on a large scale. Whilst most literature focuses on the impact of such processes for SMO activism, this research focuses on the impact of such moves for SMO staff. This thesis looks at employment and professionalisation in Israeli peace and anti-occupation SMOs, using Social Movement Theory, labour market literature, and a Weberian approach to conceptualise professionalisation, working conditions, and careers in SMOs. The mixed-methods data collection process included a phone survey of 200 workers in 32 SMOs, administrative data collected from the Israeli Bureau of Associations, 5 in-depth interviews and 2 workshops. The quantitative analysis mainly includes a comparison of SMO workers and representative data on the Israeli population and labour market (using the surveys ISSP 2005, ESS 2010, and the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics’ Social Survey 2011), and multilevel analysis using variables at both the organisational and the individual levels. The interviews and workshops used participants as partners, ensuring that the analysis is valid, meaningful, and relevant. Findings reveal that the researched SMO workers are highly educated, with an overrepresentation of women and Palestinians. They have a higher proportion of part-time positions, shorter tenure, and lower pay considering their educational levels, compared to the general Israeli labour market. While inequalities between Jews and Palestinians are not maintained in SMOs, inequalities between men and women are. Whilst working conditions are not ideal, SMO workers are motivated more by helping others and by professional interest, and less by practical considerations – although these do have a place in their decisions. They tend to stay within the Social Movement Sector, and develop an activism career – in which the organisational style and goals of SMOs compared to those of other sectors make it hard for them to leave the Social Movement Sector. The conceptualisation of professionalisation as bureaucratisation presented in Social Movement Theory matches actual data, and a professionalisation scale was created. Professionalisation may have negative effects on salary and tenure, and no positive effects were seen. These findings are true for SMOs that already employ workers, and they are interesting given that one consequence of professionalisation is creating more SMO employment. Different activity areas seem to offer different working conditions. This dissertation offers a contribution to SMOs and their workers, by highlighting inequalities and problematic issues regarding working conditions. It also enhances our theoretical understanding of SMO workers’ careers and careers in general, as well as of the possible consequences of professionalisation processes.

▼ Social movement scholars agree that leadership plays a crucial role in the emergence, structure, and outcomes of
social movement organizations (SMOs) and is thus an indispensable area of research. The vast majority of theories of leadership to date have been developed in contexts where participants’ movement identities are relatively stable (e.g., gender, sexual, or occupational) and engagement in the site of contestation will be long-term (e.g., workplace or nation state). However, the recent proliferation of graduate student employee unions poses a challenge to this literature because graduate students’ employment is by its very nature temporary and variable; graduate assistantship appointments may be as short as a semester and they are almost never longer than the time it takes a student to complete their degree. That has not stopped graduate students at more than 60 universities in the U.S. and Canada from organizing labor unions. In this thesis, I address the question of how and why leaders emerge in
movements that are mobilized around transient identities and/or temporary occupations. I use data collected during nine months of ethnography and participant observation of the formation of the graduate student employee union at a large research university in the Northeastern United States. I find that claiming the transient identity in these contexts makes potential movement actors less likely to be involved in movement leadership. Movement leaders draw on more stable external identities to explain their involvement.

▼ This dissertation explores how three
social movements deployed an anti-neoliberal master frame during the course of a multi-movement protest wave. Using ethnographic content analysis. I examine the Global Justice (GJM), Antiwar (AWM), and Immigrant Rights
movements (IRM) of the 2000s to offer a theoretical synthesis of the framing perspective in
social movements and Gramscian hegemony, which I call the counter-hegemonic framing approach. This approach links the contested discursive practices of
social movements to historically specific political-economic contexts to offer a macro framework to make sense of this meso-level activity that illuminates the development of a counter-hegemonic master frame. I apply this approach in case studies of each movement and a culminating incorporated comparison. In the GJM chapter, I found that the GJM frames neoliberal institutions such as the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund as influenced by corporate power. Second, the GJM amplifies the symptoms of neoliberal globalization such as global inequality and environmental degradation. Third, there is a master frame specific to neoliberalism which defines neoliberal globalization as a corporate project that seeks to reduce environmental, human rights, and labor regulations by eroding sovereignty in order to open markets and increase profits. For the AWM, I found that the movement integrated the context of both rollback and rollout neoliberalism into their framing to build opposition to the Afghan and Iraq War. In addition, following the corporate power frame of the GJM, the AWM problematizes the involvement of corporations in foreign policy discussions. For the IRM, I found that one of the central goals of their framing was to deflect blame away from undocumented immigrants. There are two ways the IRM accomplished this. First, the IRM emphasized the economic contributions of immigrants. Second, the IRM emphasized the impact of neoliberal globalization as a cause of increased immigration and
social problems for which migrants were blamed. Finally, in an incorporated comparison of these case studies I found a distinct anti-neoliberal “repertoire of interpretation,” which forms the basis of an anti-neoliberal master frame that emphasizes US hegemony, corporate power, economic inequality, and neoliberal rollout.

▼ This article draws from active participant
ethnographic fieldwork with a new religious movement and a
microsociological perspective to better understand bystander
recruitment. Specifically, I shift focus from the individual to the
situation to explore dynamic influences on bystanders’ assessments
of protest situations organized around two issues: attempts to
“reclaim” the clitoris in order to liberate women’s sexuality and
their use of the swastika inside the Star of David as their group’s
religious symbol. Integrating cultural sociology and
social
psychology, I demonstrate processes of meaning-making that occur as
bystanders enter protest situations and that mediate their
engagement with the protests: (1) spatial dynamics as they mediate
emotions and cognitions; (2) the presence of potentially polluting
symbols; and (3) the consequences of emotional inconsistencies.
Results not only extend our understanding of bystander recruitment,
especially unexpected variation, but also demonstrate the value of
an analytic shift away from the individual toward the protest
situation and processes of meaning-making.

▼ While political opportunity structures are
seen as important for movement emergence and success, it is still
unclear how opportunities equate with specific actions and how
movement actors become aware of opportunities. This paper argues
that as
movements engage with institutions and state actors that
vague structural opportunity contexts are concretized as specific
opportunities for framing and acting. I draw on
four NIMBY
movements in urban China linked by their similar claim
making structure, tactics, and rhetorical emphasis as well as being
nested within the same broad environmental movement. Each occurred
in a complex movement environment which saw increasing
opportunities for environmental
movements, low opportunity for
overt protest, and generally decreasing opportunities for
contentious politics of any kind. Yet these
movements, in
interaction with both local and national state actors, were able to
test out the extent to which movement opportunities existed and
turn generalized opportunities into movement specific ones.

▼ The restoration of democratic regimes in the
Philippines and Brazil in the 1980s provided an opportunity to
redefine the relationship between the state and
social movements.
As
movements carried their advocacies into the new democratic
regimes, activism became about how
movements could shape nascent
democratic institutions to expand and regularize movement access,
while simultaneously preparing the movement itself to take part in
institutional decision-making. These new opportunities and
institutions thus necessitated new repertoires of contention. This
dissertation seeks to add to our understanding about these
processes by answering two questions: How have
social
movements navigated the new democratic space? and,
What determines the kinds of repertoires
social movement
actors adopted? Through the in-depth
process tracing of four
social movement campaigns, which included
my personal attendance at meetings, fora, and strategy sessions, as
well as over eighty interviews, I make two arguments to explain how
social movement actors in the Philippines and Brazil chose their
repertoires. First,
social movement organizations working on a
given issue carve out specialized niches for themselves in terms of
skills, target sector, areas of influence, and political ideology.
Thus, when
social movement organizations work together on a
particular issue or campaign, a division of
labor develops that can allow the movement to approach
the issue on a variety of strategic fronts.
Second,
social movement organizations in
democratic Philippines and Brazil emphasized framing their
strategies and tactics in terms of sectoral ownership and decision
via collective processes. Sectoral ownership, or framing a campaign
or advocacy as being the demand of the affected sector itself, is
important for
social movement organizations to compete with both
the state as well as other organizations as the “legitimate”
representative of the people. Relatedly, collective decision-making
processes are emphasized in order to provide a quasi-formal veneer
to this claim of legitimate representation, as well as to act as a
parallel to the democratic processes that
movements urge the state
to follow. Thus, the hope is that internal processes both put
pressure on the state to adopt democratic policy-making processes,
while simultaneously preparing
social movement members to
eventually participate in such state
processes.

▼ In this article, I consider how ideas and
interpretive frames generated by one movement may spill over its
boundaries to inspire individual members of the society to take
their own action. I apply this idea to examine the role of labor
unions in boosting legal mobilization among nonunion workers in the
US. To do so, I constructed a new dataset of the legal cases filed
by workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in all 50
states in the US over a period of 25 years from 1989 to 2016.
Exploiting variation in state union density during the same period,
I find that an increased union density positively affects the
number of cases filed by nonunion workers. This finding informs our
understanding of the broader spillover effect of
movements, and in
turn, effect of unions outside of unionized workplaces. The finding
is of particular importance as hostility towards unions grows and
as labor movement seeks its revitalization through creative forms
of union activism.

▼ Social movements (SMs) are common, yet complex phenomenon of study, generating eclectic and even conflicting perspectives on what actually constitutes a SM. This notion points towards the need of an inclusive framework that attempts to talk with rather than past conflicting perspectives. The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a hybrid theoretical framework that incorporates three SM perspectives: (1) SMs as aggregates, (2) SMs as networks, and (3) SMs as symbolic interactions. I argue that a framework of SMs as networks communication episodes (CAMs) is one way to build a successful hybrid approach, arguing that SMs consist of relationships between and within actors and events. In order to put the CAM framework to use, I used multidimensional exponential random graph modeling (MERGM) to analyze four different SMS: (1) 1970s US Energy Policy Domain, (2) 1970s US Health Policy Domain, (3) 1980s Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland, and (4) 1980s US Labor Policy Domain. Multidimensional network simulation was used to determine which organizing patterns correlate to instrumental and expressive theories of collective action and MERGM was used to uncover the dominant multidimensional organizing patterns in the empirical data behind each SM. Results revealed that most collective action events were organized by single organizations across all four SMs and that the Polish SM was the only movement out of the four that contain positive estimates of parameters conducive to network theories of collective action. Based on these results, a working model of factors that are theorized to influence the CAM structure is proposed, along with an application to the Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland and anti-Three Mile Island nuclear power plant mobilization. Moreover, based on different patterns in the CAM framework, a typology of different modes of organizing for collective action is developed, challenging a recent and common perspective of collective action as either organized or un-organized.

▼ In October 2010, the state government of Andhra Pradesh issued an ordinance prohibiting microfinance institutions from distributing and collecting loans following allegations that over-indebtedness and coercive loan recovery tactics were causing borrower suicides. While no evidence substantiating a link between microfinance and borrower suicide has been provided, an anti-microfinance movement across India developed with clients reneging on their loans. Indian microfinance risked insolvency and the once lauded poverty alleviating movement was perceived as a villain by the international community. Microfinance was in crisis.
How a
social movement such as microfinance responds to a crisis is an understudied topic in
social movement literature. By contrast, crisis management is an extensively analyzed topic in business literature. This thesis aims to develop five broad crisis managing concepts from this business literature and probe them in the case of Indian microfinance. The five concepts probed include: denial, retaliation, purification, reform, and re-authentication. All five tactics were observed to occur. This thesis concludes with two findings. First,
social movement crisis management is an area primed for future research. Second, this research needs to be applied to other
social movements in crisis to eventually develop a model that explains how
social movements respond and should respond to crises.

▼ The immigration marches in the spring of 2006 immediately drew scores of headlines across the United States. More than 160 cities witnessed protest marches with a reported estimate of 3.5 to 5.1 million participants. Yet despite the massive and highly visible demonstrations at that time, protesters fell short of their goal of bringing about national comprehensive immigration reform. How did the actions of so many produce so little? What contributes to turning a manifestly visible protest into one that is marginalized and of little or no consequence, essentially rendering it an invisible incident? I contend that rhetorical work is a force of mediation that can have significant impact on Movement Empathy. Movement Empathy occurs when a movement group becomes relevant to the mass media, opinion leaders, policy makers, and the public so that real policy implications become possible, even necessary. To investigate this claim, this study examines the rhetorical presence of the 2006 Immigration Marches and how rhetoric can contribute to Movement Empathy. I performed a careful textual analysis of eight newspapers (four English language and four Spanish language) in four major U.S cities (Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami) to examine four textual dimensions conceptually related to Movement Empathy: tone, narrative, agency and values. Each of these dimensions was studied along a binary axis in an attempt to discover language patterns conducive to low vs. high Movement Empathy. I found that two cities saw low Movement Empathy and one had a mixture of high and low. Only Miami’s coverage displayed significant levels of Movement Empathy. I also discovered that each newspaper had unique rhetorical characteristics that produced a distinct flavoring for the city involved. In essence, the cities themselves, their histories and cultures, were refracted in the rhetorical characteristics of the reporting. I conclude from these observations that there exists a geocentric aspect to the news, one that mixes fact and interpretation with the history and values of the place in which the reporting is done. Simply put, where the news is reported can affect what news is reported and how.

▼ This dissertation uses digital records of a massive online conversation among opponents of an abortion restriction bill in Texas during summer 2013. It describes the geography of the participants, investigates the role of emotions and
social ties in shaping engagement, and describes a radical change in the way movement participants talked about their aims. Theoretically, it approaches the investigation of abortion rights organizing from the perspective of both
social movement studies and the sociological and demographic study of reproductive health. Methodologically, it employs a hybrid of computational and qualitative techniques to analyze a very large dataset.

▼ The relationship between social movements and social media has been the subject of much speculation and research. The literatures that resulted often put forth inconsistent conclusions about how significant this relationship is and how it may be changing social movements. This is compounded by the fact that analysis of newer social movements is consistently based on constructs and theories that derive from analysis of conventional offline social movements. These kinds of analysis commonly conclude that online social movements lack many of the basic tenets of what makes a genuine and successful social movement. This dissertation analyzes two online social movements, the Occupy Wall Street and Swan Queen movements, through the lens of social movements and communications theories in order to identify where these theories continue to apply and where they do not. From this analysis, I suggest that these movements are evidence of a paradigm shift in social movements. Online social movements have translated aspects of social movements into a model that blends both the online and the offline. I believe that these online social movements are developed through the construction of hybrid identities, where the activists display and negotiate a balance between their offline and online identities throughout their identity markers, images and narratives that digitally represent who the activists are and what social movement they belong to. In their identity markers, images and narratives, activists are displaying strategies that bridge the gap between personal (identities, images and narratives) and collective (identities, images and narratives). Collective identity proves to still be a significant aspect of movement development, but it is does not dictate the “we” of the movement as it once did. It is hybrid identity that does this instead. It can be argued that social movements in general are a hybrid identity developed in order to make activism intelligible in the relatively boundaryless realms between the offline and online.

▼ The 21st century has seen a rise in (trans)national activism. What is unique about many
social movements of the 21st century is that they have started to incorporate information and communication technologies (ICTs) into the core of their fabric.
Social media in particular has come to be recognized as an important tool for
social movements. Whilst the research on the role of
social media in
social movements is increasing, it often remains unclear just how crucial
social media is to
social movement formation. Therefore, this thesis uses the case study of the Black Lives Matter movement, a movement well-known for its use of online-activism, to examine how crucial
social media was to its emergence and coalescence. The research question this thesis seeks to answer is: To what extent has
social media played a key role in the emergence and coalescence of the Black Lives Matter movement? The aim of this thesis is to understand to what degree
social media has played a crucial role in relation to factors such as the socio-political environment, the mobilization structure, political opportunities, and cultural factors. In order to do so the case study is analyzed through a holistic framework, proving a comprehensive understanding of the role of
social media in the Black Lives Matter movement in relation to the aformentioned factors.

▼ How important are
social relationships for contribution to collective action? Existing work on contribution to collective action and participation in
social movements has shifted its focus from individual characteristics to
social structure as the key to predicting participation, but much of the work on
social structure focuses on dyadic interactions as predictors of initial contribution. Building on recent research on patterns of group joining behavior, both online and in academic research settings, this study explores the extent to which attributes of dyadic and local network structure predict continued participation. The research presented here uses data from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, and Wallop, a
social networking and personal publishing service, to explore four key questions. First, how do dyadic relationships affect rates of continued participation? Second, what is the relationship between local network structure, such as triadic closure, and subsequent contribution? Third, if triadic closure has an effect, is it the result of structural differences in the network, or is triadic closure encoding dyadic tie strength? Finally, are
social network attributes predictive of contribution in task-oriented groups, or are they more important for socially oriented groups? The results of this study highlight the importance of
social relationships with other contributors as predictors of participation in voluntary associations. The importance of local network structure, which does not appear to be an artifact of tie strength, suggests a possible
social affirmation effect where individuals are motivated to contribute by relationships embedded within a
social group of other active participants. Furthermore, while
social interaction is predictive of increased participation in both socially oriented and task-oriented systems, strong
social relationships are negatively correlated with contribution in task-oriented settings. This suggests competing effects, where
social relationships with other contributors serve as an important attraction even as they distract the contributor from the task at hand.

▼ Civil society organizations choose vastly different forms of collective action to try to influence European politics: everything from insider lobbying to disruptive protest, from public education to hunger strikes. Using network analysis and qualitative interviewing, my research emphasizes that patterns of inter-organizational relations influence organizational decisions to use one of these strategies. They do this by structuring the information and resources available to actors, as well as by diffusing strategies across connected actors. This is particularly true when networks are segmented into two distinct components, as I find in the European climate change network. In this network, organizations using contentious 'outsider' strategies are only loosely linked to those 'insiders' behaving conventionally in Brussels. These findings are policy relevant because current scholarship and policy recommendations tend to assume that increased civil society participation in transnational policy-making will increase democratic legitimacy. But my network data and qualitative interviews suggests that the emergence of a coalition of organizations engaging solely in contentious outsider action reflects the development and diffusion of a new and highly critical strand of climate change politics. I further argue that this type of contentious civil society 'spillover' can actually slow the pace of development of climate change policy and of European integration more generally.

▼ The policing of protest is a central component of
social movement mobilization. Existing explanations of protest policing in western democratic countries are predicated on rationalist assumptions, which assume that demonstrators' behavior is the primary factor shaping police response. Yet, such explanations ignore the political and spatial context where protest occurs, as well as the institutional pressures, policies, and preferences that also shape police action. This dissertation challenges the dominance of such rationalist explanations by emphasizing how a wide variety of elements other than protestor behavior strongly condition police responses. I address four major research questions: First, how is protest policing linked to the
social structural, institutional, and political-economic environment where it occurs? Second, (how) are elements of a demonstration other than participant behavior related to police responses? Third, has the policing of protest evolved over time? If so, why has it evolved in the way that it did? Finally, do similar factors influence both overt and covert police repression of protest?
To answer these questions I examine three main aspects of protest policing: First, I look at trends in protest policing across 20 major U.S. cities (1996-2006) to see whether there are differences in protest policing by place. The results show extensive variation in police response, even after accounting for the behavior of the protestors. Second, to examine temporal trends in protest policing I analyze several thousand demonstrations occurring in New York City (1960-2006). I find a notable increase in the use of force and arrests at demonstrations over time, which I link to spatial privatization and the adoption of extremely aggressive crime control policies. Finally, to assess whether overt and covert forms of state control follow a similar logic, I examine patterns of covert surveillance of
social movement organizations based in Philadelphia (2009-2010). The results indicate a groups' contentious history had little impact on surveillance rates, which were instead strongly related to groups' political ideologies.
Overall, I demonstrate that explanations emphasizing behavior are incomplete and perhaps misleading. Furthermore, contextual, temporal, and ideological asymmetries in protest policing represent a form of political inequality and political stratification.

▼ This study departs from Gállok, an area 40 kilometres northwest of the city Jokkmokk, in northern Sweden. This is a place to which local people and Saami reindeer herders have material interests and emotional bonds. The mining company JIMAB wants to prospect for extracting minerals from this area. In the summer of 2013 local people, Saamis and environmental activists gathered in Gállok in order to protest and make resistance against these plans. Activism was made, debate articles were written, demonstrations were organized and information about what was going on in Gállok was shared through social media. The aim of this study is to examine the cultural processes of the anti-mining movement, in particular the happenings in Gállok in summer 2013. How did this anti-mining movement take form? What kind of strategies and methods were used, in order to mobilize participants? This study focuses on the material and bodily aspects of resistance and activism. What kind of material interests lie behind the involvement? How do they use their bodies as tools to make resistance? Furthermore the current thesis examines some of the reasoning, questions and emotions that circulate in the movement. Around which questions and values do the participants in the anti-mining gather? How do emotions affect people's involvement? One of the main arguments of this study is that social movements can be understood both as political and cultural. Is this also the case with the anti-mining movement in Gállok? This study consists of 5 chapters and a summary. The first chapter presents the theories, methods and materials that have been used in this study. In chapter two the reader is presented to the historical background and context of the anti-mining movement. In the third chapter, we examine some of the main reasonings, questions and emotions that circulate in the movement. The fourth chapter focuses on the happenings that took place in Gállok in the summer of 2013, when activists, locals and Saami people where gathered to protest and make resistance. In the fifth chapter a anti-mining demonstration that took place in Jokkmokk in the winter of 2014 is analyzed. The conclusions are then drawn in the final brief summary.

▼ Previous researchers such as McGuire & Slater (2005) noted that people have an inherent need to share favourite music with other people, and also theorised that a democratisation of culture is taking place with consumers effectively standing by (or in some cases even replacing) traditional tastemakers by sharing music with one another through the Internet; thus shaping culture and in turn themselves. In addition, this theory supports the notion that once music consumers discover others online who have similar or interesting tastes, they may begin to interact with one another; therefore leading to the formation of communities around an artist or genre (or around a particular tastemaker such as a podcaster) which may also provide benefits to consumers in other areas of their social lives. The motivation of this thesis was to explore how these online social influences compared to the traditional offline social influences that can be inferred upon music consumption behaviours and habits. Methods of consumption can include listening to music alone or with others, obtaining music in different formats and on various platforms, and attending live events such as music shows or festivals. A study was conceptualised on behaviours relating to live music consumption, with a literature review being conducted on the exploration of the music industry and its digitisation, identity theory (both individual and collective), and social influence. The research methodology was separated into two phases; the first being a qualitative exploratory investigation consisting of a webnography data collection which was used to examine relevant trends in online forums, and the second an online survey. The online survey allowed for the quantitative testing of the theoretical frameworks identified by the literature review, as well as enabling the development of predictive models for live music consumption behaviours in both the online and offline social contexts.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to take the individual on a journey about what it is like to be engaged in radical anti-systemic activism in the 21st Century. Along this journey the reader will learn about the experiences of what it was like to join the Occupy movement"an anti-systemic movement that began in 2011"through an empirical analysis of learning about and practicing the anarchist(ic) characteristics of the movement"horizontal, non-hegemonic, affinity and consensus-based ways-of-being as a part of your everyday lifeworld. This journey is not only informed by my own personal experience joining the Occupy movement, but it is also informed by my simultaneous experience of maintaining the role of a radical activist-scholar throughout the process. Accordingly, I will explore how this impacted my lifeworld both within and outside of academia, which informed the very framework, analysis, and outcomes produced in this thesis. This project was thus also designed to inform
social science research"particularly that on
social movements"by reflecting on both
social roles experienced in this journey in order to cohesively make sense of the paradoxes created by engaging in discourses about, within, and for the Occupy movement. Of most importance, from an empirical and ontological experience as an Occupier and activist-scholar, this project will help to raise key questions about the frameworks to seek
social justice utilized by contemporary anti-systemic
social movements in the 21st Century"
social movements that are now spreading around the globe.
