A first time event: UNSW students from the School of Social Work + UTS honours and post-grad students from  the Humanities and Social Sciences joined forces to hold a conference on social movements and social action. Presenters were keen enthusiasts of social action and social inquiry: they explored practical issues faced by social movements and activists, and developed theoretical frameworks for understanding collective action today.
