DISSERTATION PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION Submitted by Corey Lee Wrenn Department of Sociology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Michael Carolan Lynn Hempel Michael Lacy Marcela Velasco Copyright by Corey Lee Wrenn 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION This project explores the intra-movement interactions between professionalized and radical factions in the social movement arena using a content analysis of movement literature produced by the Nonhuman Animal rights movement between 1980 and 2013. Professionalized factions with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claimsmaking, disempower competing factions, and replicate their privilege and legitimacy. Radical factions, argued to be important variables in a movement’s health, are thus marginalized, potentially to the detriment of movement success and the constituency for whom they advocate. Specifically, this study explores the role of professionalization in manipulating the tactics and goals of social movement organizations and how the impacts of professionalization may be aggravating factional boundaries. Boundary maintenance may prevent critical discourse within the movement, and it may also provoke the “mining” of radical claimsmaking for symbols that have begun to resonate within the movement and the public. Analysis demonstrates a number of important consequences to professionalization that appear to influence the direction of factional disputes, and ultimately, the shape of the movement. Results indicate some degree of factional fluidity, but professionalization does appear to be a dominant force on movement trajectories by concentrating power in the social change space. -

Sorenson Interview with Martin Balluch
The Brock Review Volume 12 No. 1 (2011) © Brock University Interview with Martin Balluch John Sorenson Dr. Martin Balluch obtained a double PhD in Physics and Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in 1989. He was a lecturer and researcher at the Universities of Vienna, Heidelberg and Cambridge, where he was a colleague of Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Active in animal rights since 1985, Dr. Balluch gave up his promising academic career in 1997 to become a fulltime advocate for animals. In 1999 he was the co-founder of the Austrian Vegan Society and in 2002 he became president of the Austrian Association Against Animal Factories (Verein Gegen Tierfabriken). Dr. Balluch’s advocacy led to cooperation among various animal protection groups in Austria and helped to achieve the 2004 decision by the Austrian Parliament to add a clause to the country’s Constitution, specifying that “The state protects the life and wellbeing of animals in its responsibility for them as fellows of mankind." In response to Dr. Balluch’s campaign to ban battery cages for chickens, the Austrian government declared these illegal in 2009. Dr. Balluch also organized and participated in other successful campaigns against fur farms, against the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores and the public display of these animals for the purpose of selling them, against shelters that kill animals and against the use of wild animals in circuses. Dr. Balluch’s activity also resulted in the creation of state- appointed "animal solicitors" in each province whose task it is to act on behalf of animals and monitor all trials involving animal-related matters. -
