Funded Activity Summary

The Evolution of Social Movements. Social movements are important sources of political change, serving as a catalyst for citizen engagement and new policy agendas. Not enough is known, however, about the life cycles of social movements themselves. This project will increase our knowledge of how people engage in non-institutional politics and how such engagement can be sustained over time. The widespread disenchantment with institutional politics among young people in Australia makes this project particularly pressing. It will also help train a new generation of social movement scholars and develop and apply methodologies that can be used in other social movement research.
