  • Cataloging Protest

    Linda Johnson Wood, Lesley Wood et al.ARTICLEMobilization An International…2023Cited by: 1

    What is the best source for tracking protest activity? Newspaper sources remain dominant, but other options are tempting. This article compares three differently sourced catalogs of protest events in Toronto from July 15 to September 15, 2020. The widely discussed Movement for Black Lives and housing justice cycles of protest are visible in all three catalogs, but apart from this, the field of protest they reveal is very different. While the cove…

    Charles Tilly, Lesley Wood et al.CHAPTERSocial Movements, 1768 - 20182019

  • Eventful events

    Linda Johnson Wood, Lesley Wood et al.ARTICLESocial movement studies2017Cited by: 10References: 34

    How do transnational summit protests affect local activists and the internal dynamics of organizations and movements in a host city? This paper uses Sewell’s concept of ‘eventful temporality’ to explore the impacts of the G20 summit protests in Pittsburgh (2009) and Toronto (2010) Interviews, and field notes are analyzed to show how the mobilizations enhanced the skills of local activists, increased connections between their movements, changed lo…

  • Idle No More, Facebook and Diffusion

    Linda Johnson Wood, Lesley Wood et al.ARTICLESocial movement studies2015Cited by: 5References: 5

    The indigenous-led movement Idle No More leapt into public view during the winter of 2012–2013, bringing round-dance flash-mobs and blockades to communities across Canada and internationally, becoming a symbol of twenty-first century indigenous resistance. This profile examines the first two months of the movement by analysing the structure of social networks being mobilized, by breaking down the Facebook architecture and interface into its vario…

  • Reaching Beyond the Net

    Glenn J Stalker, Linda Johnson Wood et al.ARTICLESocial movement studies2013Cited by: 1References: 20

    Using a survey of 359 participants in the 2010 protests against the G20 in Toronto, this paper examines the effects and effectiveness of the different communication media in informing diverse participants about the protest. It finds that the communication networks that surrounded the G20 summit protest in Toronto in 2010 were dense and interconnected. Drawing on Tilly's ‘political circuits’, the survey shows that activists at the core of these ne…

  • Direct Action, Deliberation, and Diffusion

    Open AccessLinda Johnson Wood, Lesley J WoodBOOKDirect Action, Deliberation, and…2012

    What are the micro-level interactions and conversations that underlie successful and failed diffusion? By comparing the spread of direct action tactics from the 1999 Global Justice Movement protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle to grassroots activists in Toronto and New York, Lesley Wood argues that dynamics of deliberation among local activists both aided and blocked diffusion. To analyze the localization of this cycle of prot…
