About us

movements@manchester is a group of researchers who share an interest in social movements, protest, demonstrations, everyday politics and social change. We come from a range of social science backgrounds and are engaged in research in various contexts of the global North and South. Our theoretical perspectives broadly but not exclusively draws on political, public and critical sociology. We run a monthly reading group, organise occasional seminars and events and run the annual conference, Alternative Futures and Popular Protests (AFPP). AFPP is a highly international, interdisciplinary space and a friendly meeting ground between academia and activism. Apart from being a research group, our aim is to engage with the wider public as much as possible and therefore, we are always interested in making connections with local activists and community groups.
