William Gamson

William Gamson is an influential American sociologist known for his work on social movements and collective behavior. He gained prominence for developing the "Gamson's Law," which suggests that groups with greater resources and organization tend to be more successful in achieving their goals. Gamson's research has helped scholars understand how social change occurs and the dynamics of power within societies. Additionally, he co-founded the Public Opinion Research Center at Boston College, contributing significantly to the study of public opinion and its impact on politics and social issues. His work remains relevant in sociology and political science today.
