*Interface: a journal for and about social movements

**Volume two, issue one:

Crises, social movements and revolutionary transformations**
*The third issue of *Interface*, a peer-reviewed e-journal produced and
refereed by social movement practitioners and engaged movement researchers,
is now available at www.interfacejournal.net on the special theme of
‘Crisis, Social Movements and Revolutionary Transformations’.

*Interface* is open-access, global and programmatically multilingual. 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.
