Dear friends and colleagues, Please consider this call for papers for the European Sociological Association in Lisbon 2009.
THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT RESEARCH NETWORK: CALL FOR PAPERS
The purpose of the social movement research network’s sessions at the ESA conference in Lisbon 2009 is to contribute to the on-going reflection on social movement theory and present up-to-date empirical research on mobilisation in various contexts.
The 2007 conference in Glasgow and the 2008 Mid-term Conference of the RN in Trento demonstrated that research on social movements is experiencing a very intense period of debate. We very much hope to build on this momentum at the Lisbon conference.
The sessions aim at deepening our understanding of all aspects of social movement theory and analysis. However, we especially encourage papers on the following topics: social movement outcomes; social movement failure; the role of the media and new technologies in mobilisation; right wing activism; religious activism; the role of emotions in activism; non-Western activism; transnational mobilization and cross-national diffusion; protest innovation; and the potential of social movements for democratic renewal at local, national and global levels.
The deadline for submissions is 26 February 2009. All submissions must be made through on the online submission form that you can find on the conference website: www.esa9thconference.com.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and, hopefully, to meet in you in Lisbon 2009.
Best regards,
Emanuela Bozzini (emanuela.bozzini@soc.unitn.it)
