ick a particular organization, group, movement leader or population that identifies with one of the broader social movements discussed in the class, and explore how that organization/group both allies itself and differentiates itself from other groups in the broader movement. The paper should also explore the historical origins of the broader movement from which your organization, group, or movement leader emerged, and the specific circumstances which led to its creation. Your central research question should be “How does this organization, group, or leader fit into the broader movement of which it is a part?” You are encouraged to choose an organization or individual whom you have direct access to, and for which you can incorporate interviews, site visits, and fieldwork into discovering more about. This can be a currently operating movement or organization, or one which had been active in the past. However, this is not a requirement. You can also approach the paper from strictly a research-oriented perspective, especially if you are interested in a movement which you may not have direct access to (i.e. the Chinese democracy movement of 1989.)
