Interface: a journal for and about social movements is a globally-organised, open access journal of social movements research. One of only four international journals dedicated to social movements research, Interface is distinguished by understanding itself as a practitioner journal which attempts to engage not only university-based researchers but also movement participants. As well as this academic / activist “interface”, the journal aims to develop dialogue between different intellectual traditions, academic disciplines and social movements. The journal is multilingual (to date articles have been published in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Italian, German and Catalan) and decentralised, with editorial groups responsible for different world regions.
Established in 2009, the journal is published biannually (May and November). Issue themes to date (May 2012) include movement knowledge, civil society, revolutions, alternative media, repression, feminism and women's movements and the Arab Spring, with special sections on debating David Harvey, international labour communication, feminist strategies for change and European anti-austerity movements. Calls for papers for future issues include new struggles around work, workers and precarity and anticolonial / postcolonial social movements.
