All over the world, countless people engage in quotidian forms of mundane activism and resistance which contribute to the collective wellbeing and sustainability of their communities. The internet and social media add new possibilities and vulnerabilities to these everyday acts of struggles, reconfiguring normative understandings and established practices around social movements and giving rise to new and emergent digital forms of activism. Yet these mundane forms of activism remain under-theorized, and the lived experiences of people in their everyday struggles are under-appreciated. This symposium convenes scholars from around the world to address these emerging issues. Invited speakers bring innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of these everyday forms of activism and resistance, and their contribution towards social change.
