DESCRIPTION
Social movements have become relevant agents for social change within Latin America, particularly in the last few decades with the return to democracy of several nations. They have influenced social development within central areas such as Education, Environment, Urban Development, Work, and Gender. This class will be dedicated to the analysis and comprehension of Latin American social movements by studying a number of approaches and authentic cases, while reflecting on their impacts within their particular social scenarios. Each topic will be accompanied by examples that will range from Gender movements in Mexico, to Students movement in Chile and the Landless Movement in Brazil. The main goal is to allow students to put into question the different movements' actions, orientations, structures and discourse, among other relevant factors, to better comprehend these subjects within social sciences.
