Instead of a flat relativism, militant research proposes the conscious reflective study of the conditions in which research is produced. This process involves dealing with the political meaning of research (be it deeper or more evident) concerning societies and communities that are defined by inner\u2014 or outer power inequalities. Inverting the classic ethnographic method of participant observation, militant research is all about observational participation. Rather than pushing the academic agenda through social movements, militant research aims at using academic (theoretical and methodological) tools to ease the flow of bottom-up or bottom-bottom information as a means of going beyond the purely objectivist or subjectivist positions.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, October 2 2020<br \/>\n10:00 am &#8211; 12:00 pm<br \/>\nOnline\/Zoom<br \/>\nREGISTER <a href=\"https:\/\/event.newschool.edu\/militantresearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The webinar will be led by <strong>Isidro L\u00f3pez Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>,a sociologist, anthropologist, writer, and co-founder of the militant research collective Metropolitan Observatory of Madrid.
