Session Submission Type: Created Panel
What are the possibilities and paradoxes of staking political claims within rights-based or "inclusion" paradigms, of forging coalitional unity and/or dissenting counter-publics? This panel examines the democratic and undemocratic effects-from unintended exclusions to surprising alliances-- of building social movements and activist identities in and through this wide range of grassroots strategies. Particular attention is paid to social justice efforts like Occupy and Sanctuary Cities movements, queer migrant activist formations and feminist struggles around legitimizing sexual identities.
