On 5 & 6 October, the ipb will hold their annual conference at Berlin’s Humboldt University. In an experimental format we will organize our discussions along central questions of social movement research. Get involved, send your answer or add your question by April 17th.
The call is addressed to researchers working in the field of protest and social movement research. The ipb colloquium offers an open space for the presentation of work in progress, the discussion of new ideas, and interdisciplinary exchange.
On November 29, 2024, the working group “Social Movements and Police” organized a workshop in Vienna on “Protest Policing in Hybrid Publics. Third Parties in Relation to Protest and Policing”. International researchers gathered to examine this relationship in more detail.
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.
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”.
