Explain the changing roles of class, gender and race in the formation of social movements. If the labour movement is traditionally thought to be a class movement, par excellence, does this mean that subsequent (“new”) social movements, among women or racial minorities, are simply not class movements, or that class concerns today are remnants of old social movements?

2. To what extent, and in what ways, has the rise of populism in recent years, been a reaction to neo-liberalism or neo-liberalization? Has populism of the sort that swept Europe and America in the past years, identified or targeted the true (objective) causes of crisis, precariousness and insecurity that populism is meant to be an answer to? Is such populism exclusively a right-wing phenomenon, and/or would a left-wing version necessarily be better able to effect structural change away from neo-liberalism?

Analyze a recent instance of contentious politics (e.g. Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, anti-fa, the Capitol Riot)*; what were the organizational structures, frames, and repertoires employed by protesters?
