I think these stories about social movements building power, shifting frames, and creating pressure are crucial to teach. But I need to educate myself too, since you learn only a tiny bit about social movement building in science studies and even less in hci/informatics.
Among my favorite concepts in this vein is Kathi Weeks’ idea of the “utopian demand” in The Problem of Work. (Welcome back @gleemie!)
Movements win by changing the political weather, turning demands considered unrealistic into ones that can no longer be ignored.
Great prose from Mark Engler and Paul Engler.
