It asks if and how a collections-based study can test the propositions, tactics, and limits of activism from archival, museological, and political perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollecting Activism, Archiving Occupy Wall Street draws from interdisciplinary fields, including museum studies, collection studies, archive studies, cultural studies, and public history. It will be a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners engaged with contemporary cause-based collecting, activist archiving, public history, and the cultural politics and sociology of social reform movements. It models strategies for 'activating' historical archives and collections-based data, and for engaging with autoethnographic records to represent and analyze the material residue of protest and reform movements today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKylie Message\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Public Humanities in the Humanities Research Centre and Associate Dean (Research) for the College of Arts and Social Sciences at the Australian National University.
