John D. Mccarthy Lifetime Achievement AwardCulture, Identity, and Emotions: Studying Social Movements as if People Really Matter
John D. Mccarthy Lifetime Achievement Award
Culture, Identity, and Emotions: Studying Social Movements as if People Really Matter
Page Range: 113 – 134
Editors Note: In 2007, The Center for the Study of Social Movements at the University of Notre Dame began sponsorship of an annual award named for its first recipient, John McCarthy. The John D. McCarthy Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Scholarship of Social Movements and Collective Action has subsequently been presented to Verta Taylor (2008), Mayer Zald (2009), and Doug McAdam (2010). As part of each year's award ceremony, the McCarthy Award winner gives a public lecture that reflects on her or his past contributions to the field of social movement research, while also looking forward to promising lines of future inquiry. The publication in Mobilization of these lectures highlights both the important role recipients have played in shaping the field of social movement research, as well as their unique perspectives on where the field is headed. To this end each award winner has generously collaborated with Mobilization in the publication of an article based on the original McCarthy Award lecture. We are pleased to offer Verta Taylor's contribution in this issue. McCarthy Award lectures from other recipients will appear in future issues as they become available to us.
