Abstract

This poster represents my research for my senior seminar in Political Science. This project explores different protest and counter-protest movements throughout the United States in the last one hundred years. Through comparative study, this project tracks and collates these different protest and counter-protest movements. This research attempts to answer the following questions: Have the nature of protest and counter-protests movements changed over time? If so, how have these movements adapted to modernity? Protest and counter-protest movements are some of the most direct opportunities for American citizens to engage in our democracy. Therefore, this project also explores the important implications of different protest and counter-protest movements over time as they related to the larger concept of the health of American democracy as a whole.

Comments

This project was sponsored by Professor Jeffrey Koch as a part of his Advanced American Politics (PLSC 390) class.
