Biography
James Goodman conducts collaborative research into social movements and issues of globalization. He has a strong interest in ideologies of nationalism and globalism; in Asia-Pacific political sociology; contestations in global and regional governance; class formations and global formations; forces for ecological and social sustainability; and cross-border social solidarity. He is currently interested in counter-corporate campaigning; refugee solidarity movements; and contestation of trade and finance regimes. He has also developed an interest in collaborative action research, and its role in the creation of knowledge by social movements. He has written, edited or co-edited eight books, exploring a variety of aspects of this research agenda.
Within TfC, James' research is channeled through the 'Research Initiative on International Activism', which he co-convenes. Through the Initiative he has organised several research conferences, including: 'Nationalism + Globalism', July 2002; 'Corporate Power or Peoples Power: Transnational Corporations and Globalisation', with the Asia-Pacific Research Network, September 2001; 'Protesting Globalisation: prospects for transnational solidarity', with the International Sociological Association, December 1999. Associated with the Research Initiative is a monthly seminar series, which heard from a range of speakers during 2002, 2003 and 2004. The Research Initiative also has a public program, with a range of interventions into public debate, including: 'Civil Disobedience Today', October 2002; 'Axis of Hope', March 2003; and 'Terror and Justice', June 2004.
