The program for ipb’s 2026 annual conference is now out and registration is open. Learn more about the conference and join our discussion on “Brain-Twisters of Social Movement Reserach” on 5-6 October 2026 in Berlin.

The Institute for the Study of Protest and Social Movements has now systematically processed and harmonized a collection of 31 protest surveys from Germany and Poland. Through GESIS they are now made available to other researchers and the general public. Sebastian Haunss, Piotr Kocyba, Pascal Siegers, Marvin Stein, and Simon Teune report on the project.

The program for our annual conference at the University of Bremen is out now. We are looking forward to 84 papers, 22 Panels, one roundtable discussion and a keynote by Knud Andresen. Registration is now open to everyone.

Valeria Vegh Weis will kick off the event series “ipb talk” with a presentation of the book “Criminalization of Activism”. The book draws on a multiplicity of perspectives and case studies from the Global South and Global North to show how protest has been subject to processes of criminalization over time.

[ipb beobachtet] Die Proteste der letzten Generation haben die öffentliche Debatte über die Legitimität von Sitzblockaden wieder aufflammen lassen. Lena Herbers fasst die theoretische und rechtliche Debatte zu zivilem Ungehorsam zusammen.

Die diesjährige Jahrestagung des ipb widmet sich in Kooperation mit dem Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Friedens- und Konfliktforschung der Freien Universität Berlin den Schnittstellen von Friedens- und Konfliktforschung und Bewegungsforschung.

In recent years, the political mobilisation of misinformation has become a relevant and sometimes dominating factor. Simon Teune describes the development from “climate lie” to “plandemic”.
