小行星9701585 这个博士论文研究改进补助金检查三个问题，关于学生行动主义：（1）如何有学生行动主义的水平随时间变化，是什么原因造成这种变化？(2)为什么抗议活动只发生在一些校园而不发生在另一些校园？(3)学生抗议和国家层面的抗议活动之间的关系是什么？ 1930年至1990年间发生的学生抗议活动将使用来自48所美国大学学生报纸的数据进行调查。 将从档案来源收集抗议相关协变量的数据。 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。 收集到的数据将用于实证检验理论命题的位置和学生抗议的水平随着时间的推移，这将使研究者完善社会运动理论。这项研究还将增加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. **** ??
