Professor Areas of Interest: On Leave |
|
Ph.D., State University of New York, Stony Brook 1980. Areas of interest include social movements, theory, the civil rights movement, race, religion, social inequality and political sociology. His book, The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement, which received several prizes including the American Sociological Association Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award, emphasized the organizational and cultural basis of social protest. His current research extends that analysis to subsequent decades in the U.S. He continues to work on theoretical issues in social movements he developed in an edited volume titled, Frontiers in Social Movement Theory, and co-edited with Carol Mueller. The University of Peking Press is currently translating Frontiers into Chinese. He is co-editor of Oppositional Consciousness: The Subjective Roots of Social Protest (University of Chicago Press, 2001). Morris is also conducting a study of the National Baptist Convention which is the largest Black religious organization in the world. Morris is in the beginning stage of a new project, which examines social movement leadership.
