Center for the Study of Social Movements

The Center for the Study of Social Movements was founded in 2006 to provide an interdisciplinary emphasis on the study of collective political challenges expressed via protest, collective violence, and other extra-institutional collective action.

The center provides a clearinghouse for information about scholarly activity related to the study of social movements and social change at Notre Dame. It also helps connect scholars at Notre Dame with the broader national and global community of social movement scholars.

The links on the rights will guide you through what's happening at our center - from who is involved to what projects scholars and students are working on. Students can also find helpful information with regard to obtaining research and travel grants.
