About the Resources Section

These resources which were generated through the research practice or created or compiled due to a knowledge gap or need identified through the final research analysis. These resources have been put together as part of the strategy approach of scaling up and working transversally in social movements.

Language Hack

Love it or hate it, language is power. It can be intimidating and alienating to be confronted with language and concepts that we are unfamiliar with. Language, like culture and knowledge, can be used as tools of power to cultivate alimentation and oppression.  Language can also be a tool of liberation and it is strategic for activists to engage with the powerful language and knowledge generated by social justice movements  throughout history to name how oppressive power operates, and  to describe ways in which we can claim power to bring about just change. â€‹

Links to Ally Groups
Coalition Building
(Linking-up)

A key strategy of scaling up social movements and building power is to build strong networks and coalitions with ally groups. In this section a comprehensive list of social-environmentally orientated groups has been compiled. An Ally group may not always fully align with your agenda, know when you can, and cant, work together.

A key element of the eventual success of the Repeal the 8th Amendment movement was the effective broad based coalition campaign approach.

Research Bibliography

A research bibliography could sound like a pile of papers generated by the elites in the academy. However, this bibliography, though still text based, has largely been produced by people who have first hand experience of social movements and activism and have brought that knowledge into the academy and scholarship. Some of the bibliography has not been formally published or peer reviewed, yet it is considered valid knowledge by social movements who can collectively verify its contents.

A social movement ecology map is simply a map of the different social movement organisations that you are linked to or know off and could link too. The map on this page contains some of the organisations that were mentioned or interacted with during this research. Try making you own map to see how big your network is and identify who you could reach out to to make it bigger and stronger. 

These 'really useful questions' (Harvey, 2022) were asked by co-researchers throughout the research lifecycle. The questions generated through our holistic praxis workshops informed the direction of our research. They can be used by facilitators to stimulate dialogue in praxis workshops.
