Readings for Feb. 16

We will continue to talk about organizations and collective action.

• Bennett, W. L., & Segerberg, A. (2012). The Logic of Connective Action. Information, Communication & Society, 15(5), 739-768.

I think this short reading will also be useful to us.

• Putnam, R. D. (1996, winter). The Strange Disappearance of Civic America. The American Prospect, 34.

Go to the website of the online campaign you are following. Consider ways in which you could get involved in this campaign. (I am not suggesting you do so. I am interested in creative ways individuals could get involved in campaigns.)

These readings are excellent, but optional.

• Bimber, Bruce, Flanagin, Andrew J., & Stohl, Cynthia. (2012). Collective Action in Organizations. Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press. Chapters 1 and 6. Focus on chapter 6.

All the readings are on Blackboard.
