Intersectional Advocacy by Margaret Perez Brower and The Politics of Intersectional Practice by Ashlee Christoffersen
Migrant women’s indebtedness and (im)mobilities in the handloom industry of Assam (India)
This study examines how Assamese women weavers in Sualkuchi’s handloom industry finance their everyday lives and assess risks and opportunities through various types of debt and migration. Existing literature primarily focuses on debt-financed transnational migration or internal seasonal migrants becoming indebted to intermediary contractors. Our study extends the field through an examination of non-seasonal migrant women weavers’ reliance on deb…
Organising for Change one year later – Response to the critics
A year after the publication of Organising for Change it is wonderful to learn what readers think about our attempt to understand the ways in which people and organisations try to achieve or prevent social change. We are grateful to Malin Arvidson, Lydia Hiraide and elena pavan for sharing their reflections and constructive engagement with our book. We particularly appreciate their recognition of our effort to reframe social movements as parts of…
Mutual Aid as Prefigurative Politics—Beyond Anarchism
Since the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic, mutual aid has received increasing scholarly attention. Mutual aid has long been considered a form of ‘prefigurative politics’. Those engaged in mutual aid create structures and practices as potentially radical and subversive alternatives. However, we argue that mutual aid can be prefigurative beyond anarchist thought and praxis. Our review demonstrates that it represents an important form of politica…
Career Boundary Crossing
Research on the transition from the military to civilian life tends to focus on challenges such as unemployment, alcoholism, violence, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) even though these problems affect only a minority of veterans. In contrast, this study analyses what forms of economic, cultural, and social capital (Bourdieu) are obtained during military training and service and how they are transferred to civilian employment. I argue th…
Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality
This prescient Handbook examines inequalities in humanitarianism at multiple levels, highlighting the long-lasting impact of colonialism on contemporary power relations. Silke Roth, Bandana Purkayastha and Tobias Denskus bring together esteemed experts from the global north and south who introduce crucial research ethics frameworks and methodologies in order to study humanitarianism and inequality. Adopting an intersectional approach, this Handbo…
Sharenting and social media properties
In this paper, we demonstrate how social media technologies can co-produce data-related harms unless preventative measures are instituted. To this end, we draw on a passive ethnography of a public Facebook group in the UK practicing sharenting which occurs when parents and guardians post sensitive and identifying information about children in their care on social media. Theoretically, we draw on the 'harm translation' concept from digital crimino…
Care, Crisis and Activism
Intersectionality and coalitions in social movement research—A survey and outlook
Over the last 30 years, intersectionality has become a prominent concept, but in social movement scholarship, its adoption has yet been limited. So far, the concept is primarily employed to analyze the mobilization of women of color and other gendered mobilizations. In this article, I argue that intersectionality matters for all social movements—both as an analytic and as a political strategy. It is important to understand that all social movemen…
Disasters by Kathleen Tierney
Deconstructing the data life-cycle in digital humanitarianism
The role that technologies have historically played in producing and reproducing global inequalities is well documented. Although technological innovation is associated with progress that does not mean that it necessarily narrows the gap between rich and poor, instead technological inequalities tend to exacerbate other inequalities. This applies also to information and communication technologies (ICT) and Big Data, which play an increasingly impo…
Do gender regimes matter? Gender differences in involvement in anti-austerity protests - a comparison of Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom
Responses to the Great Recession are varied across welfare states and gendered in their consequences. Combining gender, social policy and social movement scholarship, this paper investigates how the differential policy responses to the Financial Crisis in three European countries shaped gender-differences in anti-austerity demonstrations. We compare the involvement and characteristics of women and men in anti-austerity protests using data collect…
Digitizing Sociology
This article outlines and contextualizes the development of digital sociology as an introduction to this e-special issue, charting the development of the field through the pages of the journal, Sociology. In doing so, the article sketches key contours of this rich and varied terrain, accenting how technological innovation has permeated the domains of politics, culture and society. Of central concern has been the intellectual origins of 'digital s…
NGOs and social movement theory
This chapter focuses on four key social movement theories that are useful for understanding the emergence and development of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are resource mobilisation, framing theory, political opportunity structures/political processes and ‘new’ social movement theory/identity-oriented approaches. Resource mobilisation theory is probably the most applicable of traditional social movement theories for understanding the emerg…
Exploring Meaningful Work in the Third Sector
Contemporary debates about meaningful work have drawn on ideas of autonomy and freedom, vocation or calling, dignity, and self-realization, informed by classical sociology. The third sector appears to offer an ideal space for meaningful work given its social, political, and environmental aims, and its assumed independence from state and market. This chapter takes a sociological approach to exploring if and in what ways it fulfills this ideal. It …
Can Capitalism Be Decolonized? Recentering Indigenous Peoples, Values, and Ways of Life in the Canadian Art Market
Capitalism and colonialism are so deeply intertwined that it seems that efforts to decolonize capitalist markets are necessarily doomed to failure. However, some Indigenous businesses do attempt to function according to decolonial and Indigenous values and principles, even though they exist within and interface with a larger capitalist context. This article examines such efforts in the Indigenous art market in Canada—a market that raises issues o…
Linguistic Capital and Inequality in Aid Relations
Globalisation processes and the spread of English as lingua franca are closely related. I consider language skills as symbolic capital and focus on the hegemony of English as lingua franca in international aid organisations. I argue that more attention must be paid to the role of language and linguistic capital when analysing global inequality and postcolonial power relations. Humanitarian and development organisations have so far received less s…
Gender Differences in Political Participation
Research on gender and politics has primarily focused on women's participation in women's movements and institutional politics separately. Our article is innovative in multiple respects: first, employing a comparative perspective we analyse what impact gender regimes have on participation in street protests. Second, we study the relationship between participation in electoral and protest politics and how this relationship is gendered. Third, we c…

Répercussions des publications et des expositions sur la création en art autochtone de la côte Nord-Ouest
Ce qui correspond aujourd’hui à la catégorie « art de la côte Nord-Ouest » est en partie le produit de représentations académiques. Ainsi, les nombreuses publications et expositions à ce sujet, considérées par certains artistes comme de précieuses sources de savoir et d’inspiration, sont ressenties par d’autres comme les vecteurs d’effets d’imposition coloniale sur leur créativité. En effet, les limites de la catégorie « art de la côte Nord-Ouest…
La culture comme force d’avenir
La question identitaire est au coeur des préoccupations de nombreuses communautés autochtones qui voient divers processus d’assimilation menacer leur riche héritage culturel. Des membres de la nation atikamekw et une équipe de designers allochtones de l’Université de Montréal travaillent ensemble à imaginer de nouveaux moyens de transmission et de valorisation culturelle. Cet article présente des enjeux, défis et possibilités révélés par l’initia…
Idealism beyond Borders. The French Revolutionary Left and the Rise of Humanitarianism, 1954–1988
Despite its concern with social change, social movement scholarship focusing on distinct social movements, campaigns, mechanisms and organizations can seem oddly ahistorical. Eleanor Davey’s nuance
Introduction
Brexit and the election of President Trump in the United States are the result of the rise of far-right populist movements which can be observed in Europe, North America, and other regions of the world. Whereas populism itself is one response to neoliberalism, globalization, and austerity measures, the election of Trump, in particular, has caused a new wave of protest. To a far lesser extent, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Europea…
Gender, Class, and the Interaction Between Social Movements
From the perspective of gender theory, the intersections among gender, class, and race make it difficult, if not impossible, to assign political issues and identities to just one social movement. Instead, the negotiation of movement ownership of issues and identities occurs through interaction among social movements, including interactions that create denial and distance. This article takes the interaction of labor organizing and feminism as the …

Aid work as edgework – voluntary risk-taking and security in humanitarian assistance, development and human rights work
Contemporary societies have been characterized as risk societies. While considerable research on individualized risk and risk management exists, voluntary risk taking has so far found less attention. This article explores the tensions between voluntary risk-taking at the individual level and risk management at the organizational level by analysing aid work as edgework. Between 1990s and 2009, the number of attacks on aid personnel including killi…
Sisterhood and Solidarity? Women's Organizations in the Expanded European Union
European Union (EU) accession has been a highly ambivalent and contradictory process both for women's mobilization and networking, and the introduction of gender equality policies in the new member states. While EU membership gave women's NGOs in Central and Eastern Europe better access to EU institutions and EU funding, it also resulted in a loss of financial support from previous donors. Some, in general bigger, organizations benefited from the…
Professionalisation Trends and Inequality
This article explores the role that skills and knowledge play in the relationships between national and international volunteers and staff. Based on biographical interviews with people working for a wide range of aid organisations, the experiences and strategies of individuals and organisations dealing with inequality and diversity are explored. In particular, the paper addresses the question of whether professionalisation processes that can curr…

Sociology in the 1980s
The social, economic and political context of the 1980s in Britain shaped the contributions to the journal, and the early part of the decade was marked by emphasis on the interrelations between class and gender. The introduction of this e-special discusses the increasing importance of gender in sociological analysis in the 1980s. This development is related to a shift from production to consumption and a growing interest in life-style leading to …

Occupy as a Free Space - Mobilization Processes and Outcomes
Although Occupy has received extensive media and scholarly attention, there has not yet been systematic research on its activists' recruitment pathways and modes of participation. In this article, we focus on the mobilization success ( Staggenborg 1995 ) of Occupy and adopt the concepts of 'free space' and 'modes of association' ( Polletta 1999 ) to understand how individuals came to participate in Occupy. We consider biographical and structural …
Early African American Print Culture
This volume of essays is a must-read for scholars of African American literature and those who study the development of print culture in the early American republic. With this collection, the editors Lara Langer Cohen and Jordan Alexander Stein provide compelling evidence that the landscape of early American print culture looks dramatically different when the experiences of African Americans within that culture are taken into account. Even more c…

Argillite, faux-argillite and black plastic
Hlgas7agaa or argillite is a type of carbonaceous shale that is found on Slatechuck Mountain, in Haida Gwaii. Since the 19th century, the Haida have been producing argillite carvings for sale, including small-scale totem poles. Argillite carvings are now a much revered art form, and the Haida remain the only ones to have direct access to this stone. However, various companies produce imitations of argillite carving in composite materials, with mo…

Zum Verhältnis von Biographie- und Bewegungsforschung
Eine soziale Bewegung kann als ein „mobilisierende(r) kollektive(r) Akteur, der mit einer gewissen Kontinuität auf der Grundlage hoher symbolischer Integration und geringer Rollenspezifikation mittels variabler Organisations- und Aktionsformen das Ziel verfolgt, grundlegenden sozialen Wandel herbeizuführen, zu verhindern oder rückgängig zu machen“ (Raschke 1991: 32) definiert werden. Die Entscheidung für die Beteiligung an sozialen Bewegungen ist…

Social Movements, Biographical Consequences of
Personal and biographical effects belong to the unintended consequences of social movements. Participation in social movements changes people's lives, while social movements aim at social change (or its prevention), and even affect the lives of those who did not get involved in movements and countermovements. A biographical perspective on social movements makes clear that social change and personal change are inextricably linked
Gender Mainstreaming
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy for achieving gender equality. The approach seeks to reorganize and restructure policies, institutions, and social programs by taking women's and men's perspectives, experiences, and needs into consideration. Gender mainstreaming does not replace, but supplements, specific targeted interventions to address gender inequality such as affirmative action

Humanitäre NGOs im Spannungsfeld von Krisenprävention und Sicherheitspolitik. Einleitung
Nicht nur die Anzahl, sondern auch die Bedeutung von Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten stark zugenommen (vgl. dazu z.B. Heins 2002, Brunnengräber/Klein/Walk 2005 sowie Debiel/Sticht in diesem Band). Ein wichtiges Feld der NGO-Aktivitäten ist die humanitäre Hilfe. Der vorliegende Band konzentriert sich auf die in diesem Bereich tätigen NGOs und ihre Zusammenarbeit mit staatlichen und nichtstaatlichen Organisat…
Gender Politics in the Expanding European Union
In May 2004, after bringing their legislation into accordance with EU regulations, ten more countries joined the European Union. The contributors to this volume assess the impact of this historical development on gender relations in the new and old EU member states. Instead of focusing on either western or eastern Europe, this book investigates the similarities and differences in diverse parts of Europe. Although initially limited, gender equalit…
