A Long-Overdue Home for Scholars Working on Grassroots Mobilisation

Description

From climate camps to anti-racist uprisings and right-wing mobilisations, collective action is reshaping the social world.

Yet within UK sociology, there has been no dedicated space to bring together those studying activism, social movements and revolutions as a coherent field.
