>We are proud to announce the launch of 
>Interface, a new global online journal dedicated 
>to research carried out from and for social 
>movements by movement practitioners and engaged 
>academics alike. We are looking for articles of

>helping create the journal at many different 
>levels. This email has some basic information, 
>and more is available on our website at 
>www.interfacejournal.net.

>Call for Papers: Issue 1, "Movement knowledge"
>
>Interface is a new journal launched by activists 
>and academics around the world in response to 
>the development and increased visibility of 
>social movements in the last few years - and the 
>immense amount of knowledge generated in this 
>process. This knowledge is created across the 
>globe, and in many contexts and a variety of 
>ways, and it constitutes an incredibly valuable 
>resource for the further development of social 
>movements. Interface responds to this need, as a 
>tool to help our movements learn from each 
>other's struggles. 
>
>Interface is a forum bringing together activists 
>from different movements and different 
>countries, researchers working with movements, 
>and progressive academics from various countries 
>to contribute to the production of knowledge 
>that can help us gain insights across movements 
>and issues, across continents and cultures, and 
>across theoretical and disciplinary traditions. 
>To this end, Interface seeks to develop analysis 
>and knowledge that allow lessons to be learned 
>from specific movement processes and experiences 
>and translated into a form useful for other 
>movements. In doing so, our goal is to include 
>material that can be used in a range of ways by 
>movements in terms of its content, its language, 
>its purpose and its form. 
>
>We are currently seeking contributions to the 
>first issue of Interface and welcome 
>contributions by movement participants and 
>academics who are developing movement-relevant 
>theory and research. The theme of this first 
>issue, which will be published on January 1st 
>2009, is "movement knowledge": what we know, how 
>we create knowledge, what we do with it and how 
>it can make a difference either in movement 
>struggles or in creating a different and better 
>world. We invite both formal research 
>(qualitative and quantitative) and 
>practically-grounded work on all aspects of 
>social movements. We are seeking work in a range 
>of different formats, such as conventional 
>articles, review essays, facilitated discussions 
>and interviews, action notes, teaching notes, 
>key documents and analysis, book reviews and 
>beyond. 
>
>In order to achieve this, research contributions 
>will be reviewed by both activist and academic 
>peers, other material will be sympathetically 
>edited, and the editorial process generally will 
>be geared towards assisting authors to find ways 
>of expressing their understanding, so that we 
>all can be heard across geographical, social and 
>political distances. The deadline for 
>contributions for the first issue is September 
>1st 2008. Guidelines for contributors and 
>contact details are available on our webpage at 
>www.interfacejournal.net.
