Friday June 11, 2010 22:33 by Laurence Cox - NUI Maynooth
Social movement / activist research workshop
See more details under Friday 18th event notice. Learning from each other's struggles:
Social movements / activist research workshop
Dublin / Maynooth, June 18th - 20th
Social movements like community development, anti-capitalism, the women's movement, union organising, majority world solidarity, GLBT activism, anarchism and socialism, community education and community arts, migrant rights and anti-racism all produce knowledge for change.
Sometimes this knowledge is a radical understanding of how the status quo works and how it can be changed; sometimes it is expert knowledge of a particular issue that can be used in media and legal battles; sometimes it is research on movements themselves that can be used to get better at what we do; sometimes it is popular education work and radical teaching.
This weekend workshop is for people researching social movements, activist researchers, adult and community educators and movement organisers thinking about the next step in a period of crisis. It is not a place for delivering conventional academic papers, but rather a workshop space for sharing skills, learning from each other's struggles and developing our practice. The workshop is a joint initiative of the participatory action research programme in social movements at NUIM Sociology and the Political Ethnography group at the Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice, Nottingham.
With apologies for the delay, below is a provisional programme for this event; a PDF version, with more details of presentations and events, is available at http://www.indymedia.ie/attachments/jun2010/provisional...e.pdf.
