Abstract

US higher education has witnessed increased interest in understanding social movements and activism over the last decade. While some higher education researchers have utilized social movements theory and others have applied Critical Theory to the study of college student activism, the full potential of these frameworks in higher education research has yet to be realized. Integrating social movements theory and Critical Theory discourses into the study of social justice movements and activism in the field can create new possibilities. In this chapter, the authors push this theoretical integration further and propose a more robust critical social movements (CSM) studies agenda in the field.
