Research Interest
An anthropologist by training, my research focuses on social movements, the radical and political imagination, social change, and grassroots alternative-building. I am particularly interested in exploring the possibilities of solidarity research carried out with rather than for or about social movements struggling for social justice and radical social change. I am the director of the Radical Imagination Project, a social movement-based research initiative. I am the author of Zapatistas: Rebellion from the Grassroots to the Global (2010, Zed Books and Fernwood Publishing) and Zapatismo Beyond Borders: New Imaginations of Political Possibility (2008, University of Toronto Press), co-editor (with Jeffrey Juris) of Insurgent Encounters: Transnational Activism, Ethnography, and the Political (2013, Duke University Press), and co-author (with Max Haiven) of The Radical Imagination: Social Movement Research in the Age of Austerity (2014, Zed Books and Fernwood Publishing).
