Lecture #12: Why do we protest? With dr. Benjamin Abrams

Protest, uprisings, and demonstrations. We see them more and more nowadays. Recently, the university was occupied because of its ties to the fossil industry, we went to the streets for affordable housing, and we protested to show solidarity with women in Iran. How do uprisings such as these start and what motivates people to participate? Is there a new generation of protest? How can we interpret all these riots? Dr. Benjamin Abrams is Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Sociology at University College London and is an expert in the study of political processes in democratic and authoritarian societies.----------Follow usInstagram: http://bit.ly/2ITWLpAFacebook: https://bit.ly/2yeHbE3Website: https://bit.ly/3ertHFQ
