I’m off to Berlin today.
I’m honored to participate in a conference on the outcomes of social movements, celebrating the work of Dieter Rucht. Dieter is officially retiring, which will mean devoting a larger portion of his time to making films. He’s a great person and a great scholar; I look forward to the flicks.
I'm a professor of sociology and political science at the University of California, Irvine. I've been thinking, and writing about, protest politics for almost ever. This site offers comments on contemporary events, informed (I hope) by knowing something about history and about the academic study of social movements.
