| Description: | The gathering of hundreds or thousands of people has occurred for all sorts of reasons over the past two centuries: to cheer a football team, to demand justice, to worship a religion or a pop star. In this course, we'll think about the causes and effects of crowds in modern history. 天下足球网,球探比分'll focus on a few cases from around the world, exploring crowds' contradictory aims, complex behaviors, and impact on social belonging. Why are some crowds celebrated while others are denounced as "mobs"? For whom is the crowd liberating-a chance to resist oppression, build community, or escape the daily grind-and for whom is the crowd repressive-a violent misrepresentation of "the people"? 天下足球网,球探比分'll learn from historians, scientists, journalists, and our own Wabash experiences what crowds can teach us about human society and how to improve it. |
