Cultural Activism and Alternative Politics
Based in BCMCR, but with membership across the University, the Cultural Activism, Alternative Politics cluster aims to explore cultural theory in relation to contemporary politics. The cluster examines how various constructions of identity, history, interest, and inequalities intersect in ways that order and disrupt everyday social realities and political practices. Our shared interests include the politics of voice and listening; migration and citizenship; identity politics; political engagement and democracy, particularly for marginalised groups; social movements; temporal and spatial politics; the politics of Higher Education; art and activism; and practice-based research.
