In person icon Emerging Activism: New Goals, Spaces, and Actors

Abstract

This panel focuses on the factors that foster or inhibit new social movement organizing -- the formation movements around new issues, the expansion of movement membership, and the new use of social movement tactics by existing organizations. The papers on this panel focus on movements addressing a wide range of social issues, including economic inequality, food sovereignty, women's rights, Zionism, and worker's rights. But, they all address a single question: how do new forms of social movement activism emerge?
