Publishing on Social Movements: Strategies, Choices, and Challenges (RN Workshop)

Researchers in social movement studies have to negotiate many different strategic choices and practical challenges in their writing careers and publishing portfolios. This workshop distills expert advice for junior scholars in the field, as well as in other closely related fields. With different national systems and disciplinary priorities, different relationships to mainstream and social movement media and different orientations to popular dissemination and social media - as well as the complex relationships between publishing in general disciplinary contexts vs specialised social movements research, and between English- and other-language publishing, how can scholars define publishing strategies that will enhance their research, develop their careers and ensure their work is widely known? This workshoip session brings together editors from two leading social movement journals (Interface and Social Movement Studies) with the series editor of Amsterdam University Press' Protest and Social Movement series, an expert on the relationship between social movements and media and many years of collective experience in publishing and refereeing for an interactive discussion on the problems and possibilities of publishing in this field.
