Any examination of the current "Occupy Wall Street" protests would be welcome. Past topics have included studies of protests by environmental, antiwar, gun rights, animal rights, women's rights, and gay rights groups; examinations of how marches, symbolic actions, dance, theater, poetry, music and art have played a role in protest,and protests in South Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
