Article in the American Journal of Sociology

Last week, the American Journal of Sociology published my article with Fabio Rojas titled “Hybrid Activism: Social Movement Mobilization in a Multimovement Environment.”  A copy of this article can be downloaded here: http://michaeltheaney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Hybrid_Activism.pdf

Students for Consent at Take Back the Night

Students for Consent is one of the project teams in for my class on Activism.  Its members include Alexandra Lawton, Kelsey Almony, Danielle Cipinko, Abigail Hirsch, Meredith Starkman, and Emily Grace.  Last night — April 2 — they solicited signatures for a petition at a Take Back the Night Rally.
