Visit Site: Activist Lab
Students in my new "Protest Hacking" seminar designed a website to serve as a resource for activists. It condensed and translated emerging social science on effective activism for a general audience. This gave students the opportunity to learn the scientific method, study protests from across history and geographic contexts, and engage with communities. The semester also served as a chance for me to incubate a book project, now published with Beacon Press, called The New Science of Social Change: A Modern Handbook for Activists.
