Matthew S. Williams
Instructor
Department:  Sociology
The overall focus of his research interests has been the exercise of power on a global scale. This includes the use of power across the spectrum of society, whether by those in positions of authority in states, corporations and multilateral organizations or by social movements resisting those authorities. He was drawn to this research topic by the number of issues that globalization touches on and the resulting manifold nature of the global justice movement, with which he was actively involved for a number of years. In particular, he is interested in the ways that ordinary people have successfully mobilized through social movements to challenge those in power and bring about positive change, addressing major social ills and creating greater democracy globally.
