RN25 - Social Movements

The Research Network Social Movements aims to advance sociological and interdisciplinary research of contentious politics, protest and social movements.

RN25 is a network hub for junior and senior scholars interested in social movement research with diverse theoretical, methodological or empirical focus. The aim of RN25 is to create new contacts and strengthen existing networks among researchers studying social movements across disciplines and geographical regions as well as to further develop scientific research on the subject in Europe and globally. The scholars forming the RN25 present their research at the ESA General and Mid Term Conferences, where they sponsor panel sessions.
