Intercampus Social Movement Workshop
The Intercampus Social Movement Workshop is organized by our hub in coordination with leading social movement scholars from York University, The City University New York, University of California-Santa Barbara, and University of Pittsburg. In essence, this workshop is a new collaborative exchange between academic institutions with specialties in disciplined social movement research. Within monthly sessions, we hear about and discuss research carried out by advanced PhD students, faculty, postdocs, and movement-based activist scholars.
