Interface: a journal for and about social movements

http://www.interfacejournal.net/

Publisher: 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.

Interface welcomes contributions by movement participants and academics who
are developing movement-relevant theory and research. The basic theme of
Interface is social movements themselves, rather than the issues they focus
on, the forces they are up against or the kind of world they would like to
see (all topics which are extensively covered in other publications). We
take a very open view of what social movements can consist of, running from
community organisation to radical theatre and from political parties to
neighbourhood groups and beyond.
