2176 - Beyond the Civil Rights Paradigm: Inter-sectional Dynamics in Movements for Racial Justice (Cosponsored with Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities)

Sun, August 12, 8:30 to 10:10am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin Hall 12

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

This panel brings together scholarship exploring theories, methods, case studies and comparisons of race-centered and minority-led protests. A Civil Rights paradigm of movement inquiry that explores movement trajectories in an inter-racial context has taught us much about the political and organizational dynamics shaping mobilization. But the distinctive dynamics within movements for racial justice led by persons of color has yet to be explored. The papers presented here explore how inter-sectional dynamics among and between movement actors of color shape differential pathways and experiences to mobilization. These issues are explored in movements at the local, national, or international levels of organization, and survey the intersection of movement actor status and resources, opportunities, cognitive and cultural mobilization processes. This session is co-sponsored with the Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities.
