Research Group of the Centre for Social Movement Studies
The Group's purpose is to reflect on various issues to do with social movements. The Group has set itself five main aims:
- To study social movements, historically and as they are today, from different approaches and disciplines: sociology, philosophy, social sciences, history, social psychology, cultural studies and communication;
- To maintain contact with the people from both the academic world and the social movements themselves who are carrying out research on social movements;
- To provide guidance on research and information on the existing archives and document collections;
- To track what is written and published on social movements (books, articles, doctoral theses);
- To disseminate the results of the Group's reflections and research through conferences, seminars, congresses, debates, book presentations, university and non-university courses, and printed and digital publications.
