Dr. Diane Rodgers will discuss her latest book “Children in Social Movements: Rethinking Agency, Mobilization and Rights” published by Routledge in 2020. Providing rich detail of children’s participation through illustrative case studies, this book presents the ideal types of participation as grounded in their social movement activity. These cross cultural, historical and contemporary case studies include, whenever possible, children’s perspective in their own words. Diane M. Rodgers is an Associate Professor at Northern Illinois University and author of Debugging the Link between Social Theory and Social Insects. Social movements, theory and science studies publications appear in The Sociological Quarterly, Sociological Spectrum, Humanity and Society, Sociological Inquiry, and Organization.
