Report on XR Activists
Hayes, Graeme
Hi all,
We have a report out today with the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity – it’s a profile of XR activists (in the UK), based on a series of surveys, face to face interviews, and observation of court hearings last year.
It’s available on the CUSP website
https://www.cusp.ac.uk/themes/p/xr-study/
And there is an accompanying interview with New Scientist
The report presents data and discussion of XR activists’ protest experience and political orientation, as well as demographics concerning class, education, age, location, ethnicity, gender.
It’s not paywalled, and there is a tl;dr executive summary at the start.
Best wishes to all,
Graeme
