Supporting Activist Writing: A Conversation with Social Justice Editors

Organized by International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC)

If language is power, then writing is revolution.

Join us on Thursday, May 2, for a conversation with social justice editors, Firoze Manji (founder of Daraja Press and Pambazuka News and Press), Arzu Geybullayeva (digital activist, journalist, board member and editor with Global Voices), Laurence Cox (co-editor of the brand new Handbook of Research Methods and Applications for Social Movements, Edward Elgar Publishing), and Eric Stoner (founding co-editor of Waging Nonviolence) about best practices in supporting activist writing. This panel discussion will be facilitated by Nadine Bloch (Training Director of Beautiful Trouble) and Amber French, REACT Project Co-Lead and Managing Editor of ICNC’s blog, Minds of the Movement.

Are you an activist-writer or are aspiring to do more writing about your activism? This webinar will be a unique opportunity for you to exchange directly with prominent editors who run news and/or writing outlets focused on movements, social justice and human rights. Are you an activist, or professional whose work intersects with movements, who is interested in pursuing research about movements or activism? This webinar will be your chance to interact with an expert on research methods about, and for, social movements.

We will explore the common challenges and opportunities of activist writing; the themes of power asymmetries in writer/editor relationships; best practices for supporting activist-writers; and many other pressing questions.

All registrants will receive a recording of the webinar, so feel free to sign up even if you are not available at the time of the event.

Don’t miss this opportunity to network and learn new tools and methods for optimizing the power of activist writing!!! Supporting Activist Writing: A Conversation with Social Justice Editors (zoom.us)
