The University
of California-Riverside Research Working Group on Transnational Social
Movements has carried out four paper surveys of attendees at Social Forum
meetings:
The World Social Forum meeting in
The World Social Forum meeting in
The U.S. Social Forum meeting in
Atlanta, Georgia in July of 2007.
The U.S. Social Forum meeting in
Detroit, Michigan in July of 2010.
The Survey
questions that were used in each of these were broadly similar, but there were
also differences. Each of the survey forms is available on the UCR Research
Working Group project website at http://www.irows.ucr.edu/research/tsmstudy.htm
The project
website also includes information about the publications that have come from
our project.
