Impact of Social Movements on Policy Change and Social Justice

This exam focuses on the relationship between social movements and policy change. Candidates will analyze how movements advocate for social justice through various mechanisms, including lobbying, grassroots organizing, and coalition-building.

The examination of this relationship is crucial in understanding the role of collective action in enacting legislative reforms and shaping public discourse. Engaging with these topics provides insight into effective advocacy strategies.

Verbal articulation will assess the candidate's ability to connect specific social movements to their impacts on local, regional, and national policies, as well as their effectiveness in achieving social justice outcomes.

Additionally, students may be expected to reflect on both successful and failed movements, evaluating factors that contributed to their differing impacts on public policy.
