▼ The practices of Canadian mining companies operating in Latin America, and the Canadian government’s role in supporting these practices, have been duly criticized for the blatant social, environmental, and economic injustices created and perpetuated by transnational mining. The violation of human and Indigenous rights has elicited widespread resistance to mining from surrounding communities. A considerable amount of literature has explored the dynamics of this anti-mining
activism, with most articles exploring a particular case study or feature of a few cases. However, a region-wide systematic synthesis of qualitative themes on the topic has not been found. Given the extent and nature of Canadian mining companies operating Latin America, the purpose of this project was to scope the published literature to characterize the nature of community resistance to Canadian transnational mining in Latin America.
A scoping review method was employed to systematically search the literature, select studies for inclusion, chart qualitative data, and synthesize the literature reviewed. After screening, 61 articles discussing a total of 26 conflicts were included in this review. Conflicts in several Latin American countries with various Canadian mining companies were represented in this literature. In 69 percent of conflicts, the literature explicitly states the involvement of Indigenous groups in anti-mining resistance. Seventy-three percent of communities in the 26 conflicts were involved in agricultural livelihood activities. Sixty-five percent of conflicts occurred during the exploration stages of mining with all but one of these communities expressing complete rejections of mining, while 27 percent of conflicts occurred during the exploitation stages of mining with all of these communities seeking to change the conditions under which mining occurred. Communities had several interrelated concerns about mining that motivated their resistance, and used a variety of tactics to enact their
activism. Furthermore, only five of 61 articles discussed at length the gendered dimensions of resistance, providing insights into gendered adversities, narratives, and tactics of resistance, and revealing a need for a gendered lens in the study of anti-mining movements. The literature reveals promising and important insights as well as clear gaps in research on the complexity and nuances of anti-mining movements in Latin America.

▼ This research project uses practical work and a supporting text to explore activism in contemporary art. Its chief concern is to consider what constitutes an activist art practice by clarifying the terms of engagement of such work. In the textual part of this submission the production of recent and contemporary artists who are widely presumed to make activist art has been examined. Their different approaches have been identified and critical evaluations of them have been offered. The artists under review include Christian Boltanski, Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke, Thomas Hirschhorn, Edward Kienholz, Doris Salcedo, and others. The analysis differentiates between them on the basis of their success as activist artists. Broadly speaking, two major strands of effective activism are identified. The first provides the audience/spectator with an understanding of their complicity in situations which are not clear-cut, where ethical standards are in conflict and where the perception of issues and solutions remains occluded. This kind of activism refuses any kind of programmatic clarity and encourages its viewer/recipient to acknowledge their moral and epistemological confusions. Although it may make use of local and particular circumstances and events its overall message transcends them and it is theoretically transportable to other sites without loss of impact. The second strand of activism is designed to work with maximum impact in highly localised situations, drawing on very particular shared experiences in tightly circumscribed locations. This kind of activist art, unlike the first, cannot be removed from its exact social and political context without loss of meaning. It is the contention of the thesis that successful activist art, in either strand, is very difficult to achieve and that much of what passes as activist art is flawed, either because it is crudely propagandic or because it is too opaque for the public to respond to it. The critical framework outlined in the textual submission is the matrix within which the practical element of this submission should be considered. The work submitted for examination extends the idea of activism as a means of making tangible the political and ethical confusions of everyday life. It is designed to be eye-catching , alluring and domineering, using scale, materials and iconography to encourage close inspection. The practical work offers the spectator a sculptural environment in which news reports, memories, moral beliefs, cultural stereotypes and historical markers are put in play. It is intended to provoke reflection, to linger in the memory, precisely because it cannot be categorised or assimilated easily as a simple message.

▼ This thesis focuses on the Kurdish people of Turkey, who have struggled and advocated for a separate nation-state of their own. The Turkish state’s denial of Kurdish identity, and its heavy assimilation and oppression of the Kurdish people have turned some Kurds into political activists, both in Turkey and in the diaspora. In addition, the historical ban and current stigmatization of the Kurdish language have crystallized the importance and centrality of the language, particularly for both Kurdish identity and the Kurdish movement. This thesis explores the forms of political activism in Canada of the Kurds originating in Turkey, and the role of the Kurdish language in their activism. Using a qualitative research design, interviews with activists and participant observations were conducted in the cities of Toronto and Montréal. The findings draw attention to the significance of community centres as umbrella institutions for political activism, and as sites for the enactment of different forms of collective resistance. The study also illustrates that the role of the Kurdish language in activism is more salient at a representational level. That is, the Kurdish language is represented as the main identity marker fuelling activism, implying that speaking Kurdish is an act of resistance and thus political. In daily life, however, the usage of the Kurdish is far more attenuated and nuanced.

▼ This thesis aims to examine the role of the movement for the international recognition of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran, and the impact of their activities on the development of the case within international human rights institutions. When the massacre took place in 1988, international responses were limited, however, nowadays it seems to be receiving newfound attention within human rights fora such as the Human Rights Council. Central to this thesis is identifying how this newfound attention has come into existence. Firstly, it looks at whether it can indeed be established that the massacre is receiving more recognition now, than when it took place 30 years ago. Secondly, it conducts an analysis of the development of the 1988 movement, arguing that the movement was able to influence the recognition through years of professionalization and the exercise of their own agency. Thirdly, it looks at the close interdependence of Iranian activists in exile, and Iranian activists who remain inside Iran, attributing the movement’s impact to their close cooperation.

▼ In 2014, a series of shocking and seemingly random acid attacks against women took place in the Iranian city of Esfahan. The attacks by unknown assailants sparked widespread reactions from the public, outside commentators, and especially social and political activists focused on women‘s issues. Subsequently, the tragic event also prompted thousands of people to take to the streets to protest the violence and demand the authorities to secure women‘s safety in the public spaces.
Drawing on historical and media research along with semi-structured in-depth interviews, this thesis investigates how the wave of acid attacks managed to inspire subsequent mass political mobilizations. Situating the Esfahan acid attacks within the historical and political history of Iran, this thesis suggests that heterogeneous forms of women‘s rights activism cannot be viewed as simply pro-Western or Islamic. Drawing on the detailed analysis of the post-revolutionary history, this thesis shows how women‘s rights and bodily presence in public space in Iran have often played a central role in contemporary political mobilizations. In that sense, protests generated by the Esfahan incident represent a continuation of the long history of politicization of women‘s bodies, which continues to take new forms to this day.

Secular Activism in Party Politics</h1>.

▼ In 2018, secular, or nonreligious
individuals, became the largest “religious” group in America
surpassing Evangelical Christians. Their rise has been meteoric.
Beginning in the early 1990s, seculars now make up nearly 25
percent of the population. This trend is also political as seculars
tend to identify with the Democratic Party and take liberal
positions on cultural issues such as same-sex marriage and
abortion. Seculars in American politics may be especially impactful
as previous research has shown that politics, and the connection
between religion and politics, drives individuals away from
religion. But despite attention to the political causes of rising
secularism in the United States, much less is known about the
political consequences. If a rejection of the religious right in
the Republican Party drives individuals away from religion, then
secularism may also push individuals toward the Democratic Party.
The tendency of seculars to be Democratic coupled with their rise
as a proportion of the population may point to a long-term
electoral advantage for the Democratic Party. Currently, however,
the Democratic Party has been hesitant to run secular candidates
for public office and speak openly about secularism and
nonreligion. Despite the strong presence of seculars in the
Democratic Party, most Democrats are religious and many, including
Black Protestants and Hispanic Catholics, are highly religious.
How then might seculars have political
influence? And can the Democratic Party benefit from the
involvement of seculars in the Party? Despite their reputation as
“nones” or disaffected atheists, “active” and “committed” seculars
strongly identify with the Democratic Party and have the potential
to exercise influence through participation and
activism. Political
activism, especially through political parties, is an important
mechanism for the political incorporation of new groups. Activists
are also critical for political parties as activists contribute
money, work on campaigns, and volunteer for the party organization.
It is the purpose of this dissertation to investigate the process
of secular incorporation into the party system by focusing on
secular
activism. I will show that secular grassroots activists are
already prominent in the Democratic Party, but also that secular
activists are less involved in party politics than their nonsecular
counterparts. Secular activists are also ideologically extreme,
which suggests secular activists may push the Democratic to take
more liberal policy positions. I also use experimental evidence to
show that secular activists desire representation, and that appeals
to secular activists would lead seculars to be more likely to vote
for a secular candidate. These findings suggest that secular may
form a new, important group in the Democratic Party and may reshape
the candidates and policy positions the Party supports.

▼ Given the increasing anti-immigrant rhetoric, sentiment, and policy advocacy, it is important to understand the development, maintenance, and power of undocuactivism, which is the mobilization of undocumented immigrants. Through in-depth interviews, physical and virtual fieldwork, archival online research, analysis of social media and protest art, as well as the use of history, critical theory, law, and interdisciplinary literature, this qualitative study examines the experiences and agency of Latina/o undocuactivists. In this study, undocuactivists are defined as undocumented immigrant young adult activists who are no longer remaining in the shadows due to their lack of legal status in the U.S. and are fighting for the rights of all immigrants. The guiding research question is, "How do Latina/o undocuactivists understand and contest illegality?" Using an intersectional methodological and theoretical approach, I investigate the way that illegality shapes the identity and
activism trajectory of Latina/o undocuactivists. My findings reveal that Latina/o undocuactivists contest and resist illegality, which reflects a significant critique of the legal system and its power to construct oppressive social relations. At the same time, I find that Latina/o undocuactivists also see changes to the law as a means to expand their opportunities to claim citizenship, thus articulating a more aspirational role for the power of law. These counter-intuitive findings highlight the complexity of the legal system, intersectional identities, and community organizing. Additionally, my study highlights how and why the movement goals of Latina/o undocuactivist extend beyond the fight for the DREAM Act, a federal legislation that if passed, would allow eligible undocumented immigrants who pursue a higher education and/or enlist in the military access to a pathway to legalization. Based on their evolving movement goals, Latina/o undocuactivists are dismantling the narrative of the "good" versus "bad" immigrant while engaging in political lobbying, protest, and civil disobedience. In spite of facing serious risks of arrest and deportation while engaging in the aforementioned mobilizing efforts, I find that Latina/o undocuactivists are shifting the immigrant rights movement and witnessing the power of mobilizing to create social change. Indeed, understanding the experiences of Latina/o undocuactivists reveals key pathways by which historically castigated and stigmatized social groups are capable of using the legal system to rectify and potentially reverse their prescribed positions in society. While much theoretical and empirical work has been devoted to the civil rights efforts of African Americans in the Jim Crow era, Latina/o undocuactivists force a new framework for studying social movements in a so-called "post-racial" America. Therefore, this study will contribute to Latina/o sociology, immigration, education, socio-legal studies, and social movements.

▼ This dissertation attempts to understand pro-democratic
activism in ways that do not solely revolve around public protest. In the case of anti-authoritarian mobilizations in the Philippines, the conversation is often dominated by the EDSA "People Power" protests of 1986. This project discusses the longer histories of protest that made such a remarkable mobilization possible. A focus on these often-sidelined histories allows a focus on unacknowledged labor within social movement building, the confrontation between transnational and local impulses in political organizing, and also the democratic dreams that some groups dared to pursue when it was most dangerous to do so.
Overall, this project is a history of the transnational opposition to the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines. It specifically examines the interactions among Asian American, European solidarity, and Filipino grassroots activists. I argue that these collaborations, which had grassroots activists and political detainees at their center, produced a movement culture that guided how participating activists approached their engagements with international institutions. Anti-Marcos activists understood that their material realities necessitated an engagement with institutions more known to them for their colonial and Cold War legacies such as the press, education, human rights, international law, and religion. They were keenly aware that these engagements could assist in internationalizing the injustices of the Marcos government. However, even as they pursued change from within these institutions, they also worked to fiercely protect the centrality of grassroots voices. Ultimately, I argue that these mobilizations, which predated the more mainstream post-1983 opposition to the Marcos dictatorship laid the groundwork for the democratic mobilizations in the Philippines that culminated in the EDSA revolution of 1986.

▼ U.S.-based queer theory began with an explicit ethical agenda tied inseparably to real-world politics and activism. Key scholars Eve Sedgwick, Judith Butler, Michel Foucault and Gayle Rubin proposed that the political potentiality of queer lay in the ‘way of life’ and affective and relational virtualities it could bring about, and not as a progressivist movement defined by its radicalism in opposition to movements ‘past’ (especially feminism and gay and lesbian politics). In this thesis I argue that the translation of this ethical agenda has been problematic within theoretically-informed queer activist collectives in Sydney and Melbourne. These collectives are often plagued by intra-group conflict and feelings of ostracisation and exclusion. For example, this is exemplified in the activist practice of ‘calling out’ which shuts down rather than opens up the possibility of ethical movement towards other bodies, and productive encounters with difference. This then produces alienation amongst some members on account of not sharing the ‘dominant’ queer position on a number of issues covered in this thesis: from gay marriage debates to contemporary manifestations of the ‘feminist sex wars’. The thesis traces the historical contexts and precedents for these debates, notably U.S.-based queer theory, and the particularly conservative political context out of which it arose and that gave rise to its often polemical mode of address. I argue for a more ‘ethical’ ways of being in collectivity with other bodies that encourage productive connection rather than diminution of those bodies involved. In this I draw on case studies such as the RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009-) and Wicked Women communities as examples of difficult but productive encounters with antagonism that suggest new, productive paths for an ethics of localised queer activism.

▼ This project examines the relationship between melodrama, sport, and race. It particularly focuses on Colin Kaepernick’s athletic
activism and the many melodramatic media moments surrounding his controversy (initial protest, media reaction, Nike advertisement response). I use genre theory, media framing theory, and cultural studies theories to examine contemporary American athletic
activism and its melodramatic mode.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the
activism experiences of Black women graduate students. Understanding how these women defined
activism in their terms, as well as factors that influenced their
activism, were important topics for investigation. This qualitative investigation employed a phenomenological approach to "discover and describe the meaning or essence of participants' lived experiences, or knowledge as it appears to consciousness" (Hays & Singh, 2014, p. 50). The conceptual framework used for this study was Black feminist thought, expressly the dimensions of Black women's
activism (Collins, 2009). One dimension of the framework is struggles for group survival which consist of daily actions within Black women’s social spheres to influence change (Collins, 2009). Institutional transformation, the second dimension, involves actions taken to challenge and eliminate discrimination within public institutions (Collins, 2009). In total, there were 17 findings which are as follows: 1) defining
activism is complex; 2)
activism happens in different ways along a continuum; 3)
activism comes with expectations 4) recognizing injustice and understanding identity; 5) learning and developing the language; 6) observing and testing the waters; 7) performing
activism; 8) burnout and introspection; 9) reconciliation and expanded perspectives; 10)
activism came with challenges and consequences; 11) personal characteristics shaped their
activism; 12) the influence of others shaped their
activism; and 13) social media influenced their
activism; 14)
activism and the student experience was interconnected and inseparable; 15) race and gender influenced their
activism; 16)
activism required a sacrifice of time and energy; and 17) they gained new skills and knowledge that they passed to others.

▼ Contemporary manifestations of urban agriculture have become symbols of creativity, activism and sustainability in cities. Originally designed to co-locate food and people, urban agriculture produces not just food, but draws people together for social interactions that may have not otherwise existed. What is interesting with these social interactions, is that shared interests don’t necessarily translate to sharing other things. This practice explores the social context around urban agriculture through a series of design interventions that challenge ideas of ownership, the boundaries drawn between private and public, collaboration and cooperation, value and waste. Utilising action research methology has enabled an unique insight as both a mirror and a window into the current food and sustainability practices, and urban culture in Australia. The practice takes place over 3 locations in 2 states: Newcastle NSW, Melbourne and Castlemaine Victoria. All of these places are hubs of creativity and social innovation, offering space to foster and incubate this type of collaborative, sometimes disruptive work. As part of this reflective process, a model is created that provides a framework in which this work and other similar projects can operate on.

▼ Despite the societal importance of activism, the
understanding of activist intentions remained limited (Liebert,
Leve, & Hu, 2011; Klar & Kasser, 2009). The current study
used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine two structural
models of low-risk activist intentions and high-risk activist
intentions (Ajzen, 1991). The traditional TPB model was tested
against a hybrid commitment model that also assessed past activist
behaviors and activist identity. Participants (N = 383) were
recruited through social media, professional list-serves, and word
of mouth. Results indicated a good model fit for both the
traditional TPB model (CFI = .98; RMSEA = .05; SRMR = .03; χ2(120)
= 3760.62, p < .01) and the commitment model (CFI = .97; RMSEA =
.05; SRMR = .04; χ2(325) = 7848.07, p < .01). The commitment
model accounted for notably more variance in both low-risk activist
intentions (78.9% in comparison to 26.5% for the traditional TPB
model) and high-risk activist intentions (58.9% in comparison to
11.2% for the traditional TPB model). Despite this, the traditional
TPB model was deemed the better model as the higher variance
explained in the commitment model was almost entirely due to the
inclusion of past low-risk activist behaviors and past high-risk
activist behaviors. A post-hoc analysis that incorporated sexual
orientation and religious affiliation as covariates into the
traditional model also led to a good-fitting model (CFI = .98;
RMSEA = .04; SRMR = .04; χ2(127) = 217.18, p < .01) and
accounted for increased variance in low-risk activist intentions
(29.7%) and high-risk activist intentions (18.7%) compared to the
traditional model. The merits of each of the structural models and
the practical implications for practice and research were
discussed

▼ The aim of this thesis is to observe how media and activism can be a part of the post-conflict peace building in Bosnia as well as to highlight the work and importance of NGOs in the country. This thesis will focus on how these NGOs work with media and activism in order to contribute to the post-conflict peace building. Further, it will analyze elements of civic activism as well as grassroots activism to see how the organizations implement these in their work. Eight interviews have been conducted with two participants from four NGOs in the country. The result shows that whilst ethnic divisions still largely characterize the contemporary Bosnian society, there are instances where ethnic differences have been disregarded. Further, the result shows that the everyday work of these organizations showcase a great example of how ethnic divisions can be combated and how social change can be achieved.

▼ The highly publicised protest wave of the early 2010s triggered a reconceptualization of the organisational practices and structures of contemporary activism. Prior research was focused on analysing the new sociality of the internet, primarily organisational websites and forums, and how this was affecting, influencing, and extending collective action (Bimber et al., 2005; Chadwick, 2007; Earl, 2010). The traditional model of collective action was found to no longer account for the full range of actions that were occurring in digitised spaces. In response to this shift, Bennett and Segerberg (2012, 2013) proposed the logic of connective action to account for new models of protest organising with social and digital technologies. However, their large-scale networked analysis, while insightful, fails to capture the finer-grained relationships between activists particularly within less transparent networks. In addition, since the development of their theory, there has been an explosion of feminist protests epitomised by the recentMeToo movement. The scale, reach, and seeming permanence of these feminist actions demands further examination. Thus, this thesis provides a theoretical account of the organisational structures and practices occurring behind the scenes of contemporary feminist actions. Drawing on a social media ethnographic approach, this thesis documents the post-digital and hybrid feminist social movement repertoire that is resulting in a globalisation of feminist protests. The research is based on in-depth interviews with feminist activists and focuses on three case studies of feminist protests: the original Hollaback! campaign hosted on a photoblog, the series of #TakeDownJulienBlanc post-digital protests, and the solidarity feminist hashtag #EndViolenceAgainstWomen. The thesis also incorporates a discussion of the #MeToo movement due to its significance in the contemporary political climate. Its key contributions are challenging the myth of structurelessness within contemporary protests; reaffirming the hybridity of organisational practices; and conceptualising the franchising of feminist activism. Overall, the thesis identifies the profoundly feminist issues that impact contemporary organisational structures and practices, resulting in an expansion and partial contestation of Bennett and Segerberg’s (2013) connective action typology.

▼ In 2008, Anonymous launched ‘Project Chanology’ which was a direct attack on scientology. They ordered pizza’s to be delivered on scientology addresses, they attacked scientology websites with DDoS attacks and kept calling their main phone line. All in all, Anonymous played with the information outlets of scientology to take an activist standpoint against scientology. Here,
activism is not solely about getting to the streets or letting your message heard, but it becomes about the control of flows of information.
Anonymous transgresses boundaries of what
activism is about, by using ‘new’ information tactics, furthermore, they transgress laws: worldwide many Anonymous’ members have been arrested. I propose to analyse Anonymous as a cheater that plays with information and with rules. And, just as cheaters, they raise questions on the rules, on what it means to be an activist, what the position is of protest online and more. In this thesis, I will formulate a new materialist conceptualization of cheating that will aid towards an understanding of what I will call Anonymous’ information
activism. This research project is not about the question whether Anonymous is wrong or right, but rather it is about how we can understand these practices in their entanglements with the world. This is not an ethical question, but a call for a better understanding of the events pre-judgement. In this context, I am posing the question: How can we understand the cheater Anonymous as a key example of information
activism?

▼ This thesis is about the relationship between radical environmental activists and nature. It investigates whether, for forest and whaling activists, nature is experienced as an active, as opposed to passive, participant in the construction and shaping of their identity and activism. Two research questions guide the investigation: what are radical environmental activists’ perspectives and lived experiences of nature, and what identity and meaning-making processes are involved in the relational dynamics between these activists and the nature they are defending?
The concepts ‘nature’, ‘self-identity’ and ‘more-than-human agency’ are developed into an analytical framework to support the investigation. A phenomenological perspective guides the inquiry’s focus on the research participants’ lived experiences of defending nature, their changing self-identities and the ways they construct meaning about their lifeworlds.
Forest activists engaged in direct action campaigns designed to prevent clear-felling of old growth forests in Tasmania, and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society activists undertaking campaigns in the Southern Ocean to protect whales, participated in in depth qualitative interviews. A thematic analysis was employed that aims to uncover the phenomenological themes, or experiential elements, of the participants’ experiences.
The inquiry’s findings contribute to environmentalism scholarship and the study of nature-human relationships. They also demonstrate the need to appreciate the role of nature as an active contributor to activist self-identity and culture.

Bereaved Family Activism in the Aftermath of Lethal

▼ The boundaries of victimhood have received
increasing attention in criminology, particularly considering the
recent proliferation in 'trauma talk' or 'trauma creep'. Noting the
connections between victims and trauma, there is now increasing
recognition of the impact of victimisation, not only on
individuals, but upon families, communities and cultures with its
effects extending across time, place and person. Following David
Garland's assertion of the 'return of the victim' 15 years ago, the
interests of victims have moved to centre stage of the criminal
justice system with the experiences of some taken to be
representative of others. While this has encouraged an appreciation
of the extent of suffering in victimisation, it is easy to
understand how we might 'lose sight of the individual victim'. This
research presents a qualitative study of the phenomenon of bereaved
family
activism. Findings presented in this thesis are based upon
15 in-depth interviews and participant observations with Mothers
Against Violence: a Manchester-based charity that emerged in
response to an intense period of gun violence and ensuing community
outcry in the 1990s. The aim of this thesis was to explore how
victims have confronted and mobilised their experiences of lethal
violence to promote acknowledgment and prompt recognition. By
refocusing on the individual and foregrounding the victim, this
thesis asked how those involved understand, make sense of and give
value to their experience in light of their role in Mothers Against
Violence. Data collected was analysed through thematic analysis,
remembering the embedded nature of such stories in cultural,
historical and biographical contexts, communities and the research
exchange. Findings are presented as a way of following the stories
of individuals to the moment of collective action. The primary
contributions of this thesis can be summarised under the following
headings; firstly, applications of 'trauma' in victimology;
secondly, understanding victim movements such as Mothers Against
Violence as spaces for emotional, social and practical learning;
thirdly, conceptualising victimisation as one moment in a series of
'turning points'; and fourthly, the role of stories in prompting
recognition, encouraging identification and assembling
communities.

▼ In the past ten year various state legislatures have proposed immigration reforms
acts that have drawn the attention of the Hispanic population. These articles of
legislation affect the Hispanic community, both legal and illegal immigrants, by making
the racial appearance of some Hispanics a criterion for suspicion and investigation. This
research is an attempt to find what factors can lead to the unification of Hispanic foreign
born to voice their concern about the direction of these reforms. I look to the church as a
starting point to bring together the people affected by these reforms, to organize and
educate this group of Hispanics. My purpose is to quantify the likelihood of churches
leading these people forward to social progress. I use the Pew Research Center’s
Hispanic Center 2004 National Survey of Latino: Politic and Civic Participation to create
indexes and to analyze models to better understand the church as a conduit for civic
activism.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to identify how criminalisation by mainstream media, police, politicians, ‘the public’ and court processes affected green activists, with specific reference to the Terror Raids of October 2007. Drawing on media analysis - covering news articles from 15 October 2007 to 15 November 2007, and 1 January 2017 to 31 July 2018 - and semi-structured interviews with eight participants (all green activists, two of whom were arrested in the Terror Raids), this research explores the issues of colonisation,
activism, criminalisation, and resistance to criminalisation in detail.
The research concludes that state agents and mainstream media contributed to a ‘blanket criminalisation’ of activists in the Terror Raids and that this criminalisation had significantly detrimental effects on the activists, whānau , and wider groups. This intense criminalisation was produced as a result of activists being labelled as ‘terrorists’. As a result, the Raids represented an evolution in the criminalisation of green activists in Aotearoa - from inconsistent forms of criminalisation (in which previous criminalising narratives had been joined by narratives relating to democratic freedom and environmental justice) to the application of intense criminalisation by the state and mainstream media of all activists in the Raids. This research demonstrates, therefore, the power of labelling. However, this thesis also identifies the power of green
activism and the resilience of campaigners to this intense criminalisation. It emphasises that resistance can survive even when confronted by intense criminalisation and state violence. It concludes by emphasising the significant contributions green activists make to the environmental well-being of Aotearoa and to the international environmental justice movement.

▼ This study is an ethnographic study and explores squatting activism of the 1990s in Helsinki making use of interviews with activists, archive materials and the authors personal experiences. Eight face-to-face interviews and archive work were conducted during years 2014-2017. The primary research interest is to investigate how activists experienced their participation in squatting activism and how participating in squatting activism has influenced activists life courses and lifestyle choices.
Squatting activism is seen in this study as a subcultural phenomenom. Squatting activism has been a significant part of youth culture in Helsinki since late 1970s but is still relatively unexplored and limited amount of research has examined the experiences of activists. Theoretically the study rests on the subcultural theory and especially following concepts of Andy Bennett, Jodie Taylor, Ross Haenfler, Patrick J. Williams and Paul Hodkinson. The concept of lifestyle is used in this study as a useful concept to explain subcultural participation.
The results illustrates that involvement in squatting activism was an influential part of activists adolescence. In the activist stories activism provided a channel for action and participation. Squatting activism of 1990s emerged as a response to young people´s housing need and housing crisis in Helsinki. Squatting activism offered opportunities for the production of subcultural spaces and do-it-yourself -practices. What started as young people´s radical activism early 1990s in Helsinki, became a space, where lifestyle and lifestyle choices were constructed. The results resonate with debates about youth cultures, that subcultural affiliation is most likely to begin during adolescence, but it´s significance can last a lifetime.

▼ Despite New Zealand’s Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) being lauded as offering democratic decision-making processes, those in opposition to consent applications often feel their input has minimal influence on the decisions made. This research explores how democracy is actualised or constrained through environmentalist opposition to decisions made about coal-mining on conservation land, including both informal and formal participation.
Escarpment Mine is a proposal for an open cast coal mine on the Denniston Plateau on the West Coast of New Zealand. The mine was granted resource consents in 2011 by the two local councils. Environmental activists engaged with these decisions through the formal council led submission process, a requirement under the RMA, and informally through
activism, protest and campaigning. Their opposition was founded on concerns about the mine’s effects on conservation and climate change.
Drawing on theories of deliberative democracy and radical democracy, I create a framework for democracy that includes agonism and antagonism, situated within the overarching democratic principles of equality, justice and the rule of the people. Through interviewing environmentalists opposed to Escarpment Mine and the council officials involved, my research discusses the way environmentalists were constrained from participating meaningfully in the formal process due to perceived bias and the privileging of neoliberal discourses. I suggest that this case reflects a lack of agonism in most areas, and a delegitimising of antagonistic
activism despite such
activism working towards equality and justice. Thus, the case does not fulfil the democratic ideals of working with disagreement.

▼ How are we to live? How do we sustain our emotional commitment to utopia? Answering these questions necessarily calls for a reconceptualisation of subjectivity and sociality, in order to overcome the depoliticisation, resignation and despair captured by the neoliberal
subject. Drawing together qualitative and theoretical research under Ruth Levitas’ framework for the ‘imaginary reconstitution of society’ – Utopia as Method – I argue utopia is the otherwise that we navigate, create and learn of, together, through every moment. Where the neoliberal
subject signals a collapse of subjectivity that contributes to the depoliticisation and resignation of our contemporary times, I offer an alternative account of subjectivity through Gillian Rose and Ernst Bloch. In an original theoretical encounter, I connect Rose’s concepts of reason and ‘inaugurated mourning’ with Bloch’s concepts ‘the darkness of the lived moment’ and the ‘not-yet,’ towards imagining subjectivity differently. Further, through six conversations with seven activist-philosophers from Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) – Jen Margaret, Jo Randerson, Thomas LaHood, Richard D. Bartlett, Benjamin Johnson, Cally O’Neill and Kassie Hartendorp – I make visible already-existing emancipatory practices and subjectivities from within radical Aotearoa (New Zealand,) from which we can learn and locally ground our imaginings. Combining the conversations held with the activist-philosophers with the alternative account of subjectivity developed, I move outwards – from the individual and the particular to the collective – to specifically name five key modes of radical everyday practice: embodiment, not knowing, trust, care, and imagining. Understood as an articulation of docta spes, or a praxis of educated hope, these five modes capture a sense of everyday sociality imagined otherwise, as well as articulate a collaborative, sustainable and localised account of the emotionally demanding pedagogical pursuit towards the realisation and experience of utopia. An answer to the first question – how are we to live? – is thus processually found within the second question – how do we sustain our emotional commitment to utopia?

▼ Judicial
activism and the Warren Court became synonymous, in the 1980's, with the rise of originalism. However, the first time the term, judicial
activism, was employed it was applied to the Hughes Court. This thesis compares the two Courts to determine if the originalist labeling of the Warren Court as an activist court is appropriate. The evidence presented in this thesis demonstrates that judicial
activism is a term that fails to capture the inherent complexities found in the interpretation of constitutional law when applied to either Court. It further suggests that originalism, as a jurisprudential theory, would be capable of producing the same type of results oriented decisions that originalists accused the Warren Court rendering.

▼ In transforming the city's waste infrastructure towards mechanized incineration, a pending waste management reform in Dakar stands to dispossess over a thousand recycling workers, whose future access to waste and participation in the city's waste system is in limbo. In the face of an infrastructural reform that compromises their livelihoods, the workers draw on their ties to global civil society actors and a transnational advocacy network as they mobilize to defend their access to waste. This study analyzes the workers’ mobilization as a citizenship struggle, given that their claims signify efforts to influence the political economy that shapes their livelihoods. Situated at the intersection of infrastructural violence, transnational
activism, and substantive citizenship scholarship, this research draws on qualitative field research and document analysis to show how ties to global civil society actors can erode the practice of citizenship by weakening the capacity of the workers to be politically engaged and to shape the fate of their polity. In this case, the international civil society groups and transnational advocacy networks involved are financially supportive but politically uninvolved in ways that distance the workers from the state and disenable them from influencing government decision making. The emphasis in transnational
activism literature on the emancipatory implications of local-global alliances for local struggles thus needs to be further scrutinized with respect to the ways in which these alliances transform local practices and formulations of citizenship.

▼ Billions of animals are killed every year based on this ethical premise: Animals are lower than humans on some abstract moral scale, and they can therefore be considered property. However, a growing percentage of compassionate and educated animal lovers and advocates reject that premise. Its now possible to live comfortably and happily without subjecting animals to fear, pain, and stress for non-essential products. Whether it be food, clothing, scientific experiment, or entertainment, alternatives now exist to take their place. A broad range of investigative journalism and scholarship have exposed the detrimental effects of the use of animals for industry. An increasingly large number of compassionate, attentive people are beginning to understand that animals, too, deserve to their life as they choose, and many of us are determined to spread the word. Animal People tells the stories of individuals who are engaging in advocacy in new ways and building a better future for animals and humans alike. Though their fields of interest and expertise may be very different — they have backgrounds in science, social media, animal husbandry, and philosophy— their stories illuminate the progress we're making in thinking about animals and interacting with them in a more positive, less-exploitative manner.'

Yugonostalgic against all odds: nostalgia for Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia among young leftist activists in contemporary Serbia.

▼ This thesis examines yugonostalgia – nostalgia for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) – in contemporary Serbia. Yugonostalgia often has a negative reputation – both in academia and in everyday life – as an ‘unhealthy’ or even debilitating fixation on the socialist past. However, this thesis argues that yugonostalgia tells us not only about nostalgic subjects’ attitude towards the past but also about their current concerns. Contemporary Serbia is permeated by discourses privileging nationalistic and neoliberal values. This thesis explores how young people can develop nostalgic attitudes towards the socialist past, even in such an unlikely context.
Yugonostalgia is an ambiguous phenomenon, and this ambiguity allows for positive dimensions and uses. To highlight the emancipatory potential of yugonostalgia, this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork among young leftist activists in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade. The focus on this milieu demonstrates how yugonostalgia is not simply reactionary but can overlap with and even energize a critical stance towards both nationalistic and neoliberal projects in contemporary Serbia. Additionally, this focus on young activists helps to counter popular negative stereotypes about Serbian youth as either passive victims of their situation or as a violent negative force. Finally, the thesis also adds to our understanding of how the meaning of the ‘left’ is negotiated in post-socialist conditions.
Drawing on concept of lieux de mémoire developed by the French historian Pierre Nora, I examine four broad clusters of recurring themes that appear in the yugonostalgic narratives of my Serbian informants. These four themes of national unity, international cooperation, economic prosperity and cultural achievements once constituted the ideological foundations of the Yugoslav state. Today, they take on new significance among young leftist activists. The state ideology of the brotherhood and unity of the Yugoslav nations and the anti-fascist struggle was relevant for my informants in the context of the rise of nationalism in contemporary Serbia. Yugoslav internationalism took on a new significance in the context of Serbia’s relative international isolation and the loss of mobility for its citizens. The ‘Yugoslav dream’, the socio-economic comfort that the citizens of SFRY enjoyed, was attractive in the context of the increased precariousness of life in contemporary Serbia but for my leftist informants also provided a compelling example of a fairer and more prosperous economic model than what has resulted from current neoliberal reforms. Yugoslav culture was often portrayed as superior to the cultural life of contemporary Serbia, which has deteriorated under the influence of both nationalism and neoliberalism.
Yugonostalgia, then, represents not a retreat from the present, but a rich cultural repertoire for progressive re-engagement with current…

Active citizenship of Muslims in Australia and Germany: civic and political participation of a socially marginalised group.

▼ Modern citizenship in the West is commonly regarded not only as a legal status but also as a social process of citizens’ engagement in civil society and the political arena. This study examines Muslims’ active citizenship in Australia and Germany against the backdrop of the social marginalisation and scrutiny they experience in both countries. The basic understanding of active citizenship draws on an eclectic theoretical framework, emphasising the performative nature of citizenship, enacted through various forms of civic and political participation. Based on 30 in-depth interviews with active citizens of (self-declared) Muslim background, this research pursues a comparative approach to examine Muslims’ participation in Australia and Germany. It provides fresh insights into Muslims’ trajectories of civic activism, their goals, motives and empowering factors, and personal implications of their participation.
The findings underscore the enormous complexities and dynamics of Muslims’ participation in civil society and the political arena, dispelling widespread misconceptions of Muslims’ active engagement as socially isolated – and isolating – activism. Muslim community organisations often play a key role for Muslims in Australia and Germany both as a location of civic participation and as a gateway for other, often more mainstream-oriented manifestations of activism. The study also discovered that the majority of interviewed Muslim citizens (including those active within a community context) pursue a predominately republican agenda, seeking to contribute to the greater good of society at large or to promote social justice. In contrast to commonly raised concerns about Islam as a hampering factor for citizenship, the results of this analysis demonstrate that the Islamic faith is a powerful resource and driving force for many Muslims’ active engagement. Moreover, the study found that personal or collective experiences of exclusion, including the public misconception of Islam, often have empowering effects on Muslims’ civic activism.
The cross-national comparison points to many similarities between the ways in which Muslims in Australia and Germany perform their citizenship, but it also reveals differences; these seem, at least partially, attributed to divergent political opportunity structures in the two national settings. The recognition of Muslim community organisations as ‘normal’ civil society stakeholders, institutional opportunities for Muslims to contribute to the political discourse and social networks between Muslim organisations and mainstream institutions, for example, appear more advanced in Australia. All these structural differences, in addition to the countries’ citizenship regime and access to political right, appear to have implications for Muslims’ activism.

Asian American media activism: past, present, and digital

▼ Asian American media activists have worked for decades
to promote a greater diversity of roles for Asian Americans and a
greater number of Asian Americans both behind and in front of the
camera. In this dissertation I investigate this complicated
interplay between activists and media producers, particularly
within the context of practices that have contributed to these
impacts but that might not so readily be identified as
activism,
such as the creations of Asian American online videographers and
bloggers, and the work of advertising agencies in Asian American
communities. Given that such efforts rely on the premise that the
media representations teach us what it means to be a citizen and
who counts as a citizen, on a broader level this investigation
helps us to better understand how Asian American citizenship in its
many different forms has been imagined and enacted. The
relationship between Asian American activists and the media
industry is importantly connected to the idea of the
citizen-consumer, or powerful groups of consumers who articulate
their market value as a means for impacting societal change.
Although scholars within Asian American Studies have traditionally
been hesitant about theorizing consumer culture as a site for
constituting Asian American subjecthood, this investigation of
media
activism offers a new perspective on the relationship between
marketing, consumer culture, and political action within Asian
American communities. Moreover, by exploring this kind of
activism
through the specific lens of Asian American cultural citizenship, I
argue that transnational identity formations have altogether
altered the way we should theorize Asian American media
activism.

▼ The Gaelic movement was the general term used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to refer to a range of diverse but interconnected activity in support of the Gaelic language and culture in Scotland, embracing educational, literary, musical and scholarly aspects. Accounts of the Gaelic cultural landscape at this time tend to focus on the leading male figures; the presence and participation of women has been largely overlooked and a number of women who were prominent and significant participants in the Gaelic movement have slipped into the shadows or disappeared completely. This study aims to reconfigure this view to foreground the contribution of women and to understand the complex dynamics of the Gaelic movement from the perspectives of the women involved. While the study importantly highlights certain individual women, the biographical focus is used as a means to uncover lesser-known women and the female friendships and networks in which they moved, as well as to explore their relationship and interaction with prominent male figures and other interconnected social groupings within the Gaelic movement and wider Pan-Celtic and Celtic Revival circles. The study examines and discusses the participation, contribution and influence of a number of women across a spectrum of Gaelic cultural activities, taking into account socio-historical, literary and cultural aspects and using gender as an analytical lens through which to examine the different challenges and tensions that individual women negotiated in a period of social and cultural change. The study shows that a number of women were actively involved with the Gaelic movement in the period between the passing of The Crofting Act and the start of the Great War; that they were innovative, ambitious and wide-ranging in their participation; and that they saw the accessibility of the Gaelic cultural sphere as an opportunity to progress both their individual aspirations as women as well as their support for the Gaelic language and culture.
