In this lecture, focusing primarily on her work, Dr. Dana Fisher provides an overview of the concepts and methods of studies on civil society and social movements using mixed methods approaches. She notes that the research focuses on organizational and institutional forms as well as forms of action. She then presents an example of studying urban environmental stewardship to exemplify the use of mixed methods in studying civil society and highlights the use of network analysis and survey methodologies. She also presents an example of studying the climate change movement and describes the survey and social media analyses used to study the connectivity and communication within social movements.
