INTERFACE: A Journal For and About Social Movements

Announcing an exciting new project and upcoming first issue of a new open access journal dedicated to social movements. From the website for INTERFACE:

Interface is a new journal launched by activists and academics around the world in response to the development and increased visibility of social movements in the last few years — and the immense amount of knowledge generated in this process. This knowledge is created across the globe, and in many contexts and a variety of ways, and it constitutes an incredibly valuable resource for the further development of social movements. Interface responds to this need, as a tool to help our movements learn from each other’s struggles.

Interface is a forum bringing together activists from different movements and different countries, researchers working with movements, and progressive academics from various countries to contribute to the production of knowledge that can help us gain insights across movements and issues, across continents and cultures, and across theoretical and disciplinary traditions. To this end, Interface seeks to develop analysis and knowledge that allow lessons to be learned from specific movement processes and experiences and translated into a form useful for other movements. In doing so, our goal is to include material that can be used in a range of ways by movements — in terms of its content, its language, its purpose and its form.
