In this preconference, we seek original, rigorous, and innovative contributions and reflections on the intersection of research and activism. Submissions can adopt primarily theoretical frameworks or be grounded in empirical investigations, addressing and reflecting on how activist practice shapes activism theory and vice versa. We strongly encourage submissions that involve perspectives and contributions from practitioners and activists, investigate lesser-studied activist movements, platforms, or issues, or facilitate activities by activist minority groups and/or contentious actors of, for instance, the Global South. We are also interested in work that critically examines the ethical dimensions of scholar-activist engagements. We further welcome submissions by early career scholars and advanced PhD students.
Abstracts of 400-600 words (excluding references) must be sent activism.preconf@gmail.com by 31 January 2025. Please include author names, affiliations, contact information of the submitter, and a brief sentence on how the submission addresses the CFP. We strongly encourage submissions that involve perspectives and contributions from practitioners and activists, investigate lesser-studied activist movements, platforms, or issues, or facilitate activities by activist minority groups and/or contentious actors of, for instance, the Global South. ------------------------------
