Personal profile

Overview

Alice Swift is undertaking a PhD in Sociology at the University of Manchester’s School of Social Sciences funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

Her thesis is focussed on the use of protest camps in the European climate justice movement, looking at why and how they have proliferated in different countries and through generations of activism.

She is using arguments from social movement studies and feminist political theory in order to contribute to understandings of how organisations use alternative institutions, events and cultural practices for the production and reproduction of their political activity.

Her primary case studies are Reclaim the Power in the UK and Ende Gelände in Germany with a secondary focus on how the use of the 'climate camp' has been adopted and adapted in Italy, The Czech Republic and Scotland.
