Doctoral Dissertation Research: The Persistence of Student Activism Across Protest Cycles: 1930-1990

9701585麦克亚当这项博士论文研究改进基金调查了关于学生激进主义的三个问题：(1)学生激进主义的水平随着时间的推移是如何变化的，这种变化的原因是什么？(2)为什么抗议活动发生在一些校园而不是其他校园？(3)学生抗议活动和国家层面的抗议活动之间有什么关系？发生在1930年至1990年之间的学生抗议活动将使用美国48所大学学生报纸的数据进行调查。有关抗议活动相关变量的数据将从档案资料来源收集。考虑到事件发生时间的事件历史方法将是主要的分析方法。收集的数据将被用来经验性地检验关于学生抗议的地点和程度的理论命题，这将使调查者能够完善社会运动理论。这项研究还将加深我们对社会运动如何塑造美国大学校园和整个社会的理解。*？？

9701585 McAdam This Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement grant examines three questions regarding student activism: (1) How have levels of student activism varied over time, and what accounts for this variation?; (2) Why does protest activity occur on some campuses and not others?; (3) and What is the relationship between student protest and protest activity at the national level? Student protests that occurred between 1930 and 1990 will be investigated using data from student newspapers at forty-eight U.S. colleges. Data on relevant covariates of protest will be gathered from archival sources. Event history methods, which take into account the timing of events, will be the primary method of analysis. The data gathered will be used to empirically test theoretical propositions regarding the location and levels of student protest over time, which will enable the investigator to refine social movement theory. This research will also increase our understanding of how social movements shape U.S. college campuses and society at large. **** ??
