The section encourages papers and panel proposals that consider various questions broadly related to what complexity means to political change. How does the perception of complexity contribute to a politics of fatigue that can stagnate political movement? How are complex identities negotiated in efforts for social change? What do these negotiations mean for transforming democracy and capitalism? What "new" and different ways are diverse peoples across the globe mobilizing amidst the complicating forces of globalization and democratization? How do forces of tradition motivate and stagnate struggles for progressive political change committed to non-violence and social justice? To consider such questions and many others, the section is particularly interested in perspectives that challenge disciplinary and academic boundaries. The section welcomes papers and panel proposals drawing from a broad range of theoretical and empirical approaches, using alternative methodologies, and bringing together junior and senior scholars, activists, and practitioners. |
