Kurt Schock Title: Associate Professor of Sociology and Global Affairs e-mail: kschock@andromeda.rutgers.edu Education Ph.D. in Sociology, The Ohio State University, 1995
Social movements, nonviolent resistance, political sociology, and social change. Professor Schock is currently researching land reform and land rights movements in the global south. He is examining how civil resistance is being used to prevent land alienation and promote a more equitable distribution of land and resources. More broadly his research seeks to understand how methods of nonviolent action and 'people power' movements are able to successfully challenge state domination and economic exploitation.
