*The Conference*

Social movements play an important role in political debates across the
globe. From an academic point of view, the study of political
mobilisation and social change is subject to an extraordinary
predisposition to cross-disciplinary exchange. Our understanding of the
phenomena we study is subordinate to our capacity to build theoretical
paths among the different disciplines.

Continuing with INSPR’s mission, the aims of this two-day conference are
to explore political mobilisation from a variety of academic
perspectives and to further develop links between disciplines. We seek a
broad range of contributions, including (but not limited to); sociology,
law, psychology, politics, economics, cultural studies, history,
geography, philosophy, literature, and film studies.

Proposals will be selected on the basis of their academic merit. Lines
of research that interrogate different perspectives are highly
appreciated, although excellent work conducted within the boundary of a
single discipline is still suitable for this meeting. Topics may include:

  * Past and present collective actions
  * Social and political theory
  * Motivation, mobilisation, or outcomes
  * Methodology
  * Macro- and micro- processes
  * Art in and from protest
  * Legal or economic implications and considerations
  * Other topics relevant to social protest research
