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.

political action

conflito: os casos do MST e MTST no Brasil (Networks for the

Interface is looking for new participants for its various regional / linguistic
groups. 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.
