From Lilaroja at gmx.net Wed Feb 11 11:14:08 2009 From: Lilaroja at gmx.net (Mayo FM) Date: Wed Feb 11 11:14:22 2009 Subject: [CASA] "Movements knowledge" - Interface: a journal for and about social movements Message-ID: <20090211181408.33770@gmx.net> Hello! Please see below the first issue of Interface, a new journey "for and about social movements". It is multilingual and is availeble entirely online. It aims to build bridges between research and action. I think it is to be celebrated the birth of research journeys that reject the commercialization of research and knowledge and choose to be openly accessible. In solidarity! Mayo Interface: A journal for and about social movements Issue one: "Movement knowledge" The first issue of Interface, a multilingual, open access and global e-journal produced by social movement practitioners and engaged movement researchers, is now available at www.interfacejournal.net. The special theme of this issue is "movement knowledge": what movements know, how they produce knowledge, what they do with it and how it can make a difference.

We are particularly keen to find IT collaborators who can help us make the site more useful and accessible, and translators to support our multilingual project. Our overall aim is to "learn from each other's struggles": to develop a dialogue between researchers and practitioners, but also between different social movements, intellectual traditions and national contexts.
