Activism

In the era of digital activism and international protest, this conference offers an inclusive forum to explore the history, representations, gestures, and outcomes of protest activities. We are seeking perspectives not only from academics, but also active activists, as well as creatives and professionals.

We are soliciting applications to present in the Ideas + Research track at our first international RadicalxChange conference. RadicalxChange convenes a community of activists, artists, entrepreneurs and scholars committed to using mechanism design, in conjunction with ideas from a wide variety of scholarly disciplines, to reduce inequality, build widely-shared prosperity, heal global political divides and build a richer and more cooperative social life for the twenty-first century.

"Sport: Power to Change the World?" is Progressive Connexions' second global interdisciplinary symposium on the power of sport. Topics include (dis)empowerment, commodification, and international connections in sports. We aim to generate an inclusive dialogue involving researchers, artists, activists, policy makers, and others with interest in the field.
