Work that speaks volumes
Care-ful work
Intersectional Advocacy by Margaret Perez Brower and The Politics of Intersectional Practice by Ashlee Christoffersen
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…
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
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 …
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…
Aids, Activism and Altruism
Bookreview Essay of Benita Roth "The Life and Death of ACT/UP LA. Anti-AIDS Activism in Los Angeles from the 1980s to the 2000", Ann Swidler & Susan Cotts Watkins "A Fraught Embrace: The Romance and Reality of AIDS Altruism in Africa", and Sara de Jong "Complicit Sisters. Gender and Women's Issues across North-South Divides"
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 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.
Social Movements, Biographical Consequences of
Biographical consequences of social movements can be observed at the micro‐, meso‐, and macrolevels. The effects at the microlevel concern the impact of movement participation on activists' life courses, the individual level of participants in movement activities. As numerous studies have shown, activists tend to remain committed to the social change goals they pursue in social movements, and this commitment has significant effects in their work …
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 …
The Paradoxes of Aid Work
This book explores what attracts people to aidwork and to what extent the promises of aidwork are fulfilled. 'Aidland' is a highly complex and heterogeneous context which includes many different occupations, forms of employment and organizations. Analysing the processes that lead to the involvement in development cooperation, emergency relief and human rights work and tracing the pathways into and through Aidland, the book addresses working and l…
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 …

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…
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 …

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

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…
