Bringing Together Nerds for Justice Since 2012
We are the Research Justice Collective, organizing the Research Justice Track of the 20th Annual Allied Media Conference (AMC). The AMC is is a media-based organizing conference that will bring together folks from all over the world to Detroit, Michigan to strategize, learn, and create community through media on June 14-17, 2018.
The Research Justice Track is back to AMC (after a brief hiatus) and will focus on sharing skills and tools for utilizing grassroots-led research and data in order to reveal untold stories, challenge dominant narratives, and expose social injustice to make the case for change. Research justice honors the expertise of communities most impacted and supports their organizing and movement building, pursuing the production of knowledge through a popular education framework. Our definition of “data” is broad and includes our experiences, traditions, stories, and community knowledge, as well as the many ways we communicate our data, such as maps, reports and studies. We will examine success stories of radical research as a tool for change and liberation, while continuing to grow a national research justice network.
