Colin is social ethnographer with an interest in approaches to social justice activism. He has a long history of participant observation in grassroots and internationalist campaigns stretching back to the mid-late 1990s including the roots of the alter-globalization movement, environmental campaigns, issues of concern for Aboriginal and First Nations Peoples', and the rise in animal activism. His interest stretches beyond the issues central to these campaigns, exploring the strategies and tactics adopted in working towards their ends—including the increasing role of social media.
