The connective is communal: Hybrid Activism in Online & Offline Spaces
Scaffolding collective hope and agency in youth activist groups: I get hope through action
We argue youth-led social justice movements are key sites for building collective hope in the face of the existential threats of colonisation, climate change and sexual violence. Building on the concepts of projective agency and affective scaffolding, we create an analytical framework to understand how collective hope was created and challenged in the work of six activist groups in Aotearoa New Zealand. The groups in our study encompassed a spect…
Fierce Hope: Youth Activism in Aotearoa
Youth activism has been a defining feature of Aotearoa's recent political landscape. Amidst these unsettling political times haunted by climate change, colonisation, ongoing inequality and the upheaval of the pandemic, the political actions of young New Zealanders are a source of inspiration, challenge and renewal. Fierce Hope opens the doors on six influential activist groups: ActionStation, Generation Zero (Auckland), InsideOUT, JustSpeak, Prot…
So people wake up, what are we gonna do: From paralysis to action in decolonizing activism
In Aotearoa New Zealand, social and ethical responsibilities to work towards decolonization are shaped by the principles set out in legislation aimed at honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi). Our study with young settler activists in Aotearoa working on a range of social issues aimed to find out how these activists thought about and worked toward enacting these responsibilities. We found that most settler activists were hesitant…
Living in and out of time: Youth-led activism in Aotearoa New Zealand
Addressing past and present injustices in order to create more just futures is the central premise of most social movements. How activists conceptualise and relate to time affects 1 how they articulate their vision, the actions they take and how they imagine intergenerational justice. Two social movements for change are emblematic of different relationships with time: the struggle to resolve and repair past injustices against Indigenous peoples a…
Consent requires a relationship: Rethinking group consent and its timing in ethnographic research
Activist groups in ethnographic research re-negotiated our Ethics Committee’s expected order of securing consent before data collection, demonstrating the importance of researchers taking time to build relationships first. Although the Ethics Committee expected us to obtain group consent, the literature provides little guidance on how to do this. We developed a Memorandum of Understanding to summarize what forms of participant observation each gr…
Structural intersectionality and Indigenous Canadian youth who trade sex: Understanding mobility beyond the trafficking model
Indigenous young people in Canada who trade sex frequently move locations as part of their survival tactics in negotiating the myriad vulnerabilities they face. Both Canadian law and social activists label all such mobility “trafficking”, which conceals the ways in which Indigenous youth are forced by structural factors beyond their control to be mobile to survive. Two politically opposed frameworks have been offered for understanding sex trading…
Negotiating Sex Work: Unintended Consequences of Policy and Activism
Negotiating Sex Work provides a timely and necessary intervention in to current public and political debates about sex work, debates which are primarily divided between those who view selling sexual services as legitimate work, and those who view it as a form of coercive sexual exploitation (or sex trafficking). By presenting scholarship from a range of countries and disciplinary and methodological traditions, this book intervenes in this long-st…
Suspect Citizens: Women, Virtue, and Vice in Backlash Politics
Theorising maybe: A feminist/queer theory convergence
In this article, I examine the seemingly incompatible epistemologies of sex offered by dominance ('governance') feminism and queer theory. While these bodies of work, especially when applied to US legal and political activity on prostitution, are commonly viewed as divergent sparring partners, I propose a 'convergence' of the two in the form of a revived and enhanced sex-positive feminism. If dominance feminism is the 'theory of no' to heterosexu…
What's Political about the New Feminisms
What's Political about the New Feminisms? Carisa R. Showden (bio) The "new feminisms": postfeminism, power feminism, third-wave feminism, do-me feminism, libertarian feminism, babe feminism, I'm not a feminist, but . . . "feminism." In this article, I examine these "new feminisms" to argue that they are not simply part of a backlash against feminism but are instead, in many cases, part of an ongoing contest over the meaning of feminism. Critical …
