Welcome to the Activism Research Hub
The activism research hub is engaged in a range of projects aiming to support evidence based successful activism. We foster collaboration and information sharing across activists and researchers to play our part in creating positive social change.
Our projects include one of the world’s first citizen science projects focused on environmental activism (see the environmental campaign explorer information below). We have also completed a number of research projects on effective campaigning, Twitter campaign stories and spatial analysis on ArcGIS.
Our work is focused on the mechanisms by which social and environmental change can be most rapidly and effectively achieved. We invite activists, researchers and anybody interested in furthering this work to join us.
