Academic study of social activism and social movements has become
increasingly prevalent over the years; this is due in large part to
the fact that activists have captured public imagination and gained
substantial influence in political discourse. For instance, Occupy
Wall Street activists, Tea Party activists, and activists
affiliated with the Arab Spring have transformed political debates
and have become the focus of mainstream news media coverage about a
variety of different political topics. Journey into Social Activism
explicates the philosophical foundations of the study of activism
and illustrates four different research sites in which activism can
be observed and studied: organizations, networks, events, and
alternative media. The book will introduce students and scholars to
important qualitative approaches to the study of social activism
within these four research sites, which is based entirely on
successful research projects that have been conducted and published
in recent years. Ultimately, this book will prove integral to any
students and scholars who wish to use qualitative methods for their
research endeavors concerning social activism in contemporary
society.
