Hello!
We are looking for people affiliated with Occupy Sandy and/or OWS to fill out a short, 10 minute survey that asks what community/activist/advocate groups people were part of before OWS and OS, and where they have worked, volunteered, or been affiliated since.
We are researching how people’s affiliations with activist groups change over time. The project is meant to show that a metric of success for social movements is how people continue to work in activist/community settings, even after the “end” of publicly visible protests.
The survey can be found here: https://research.socialsci.com/s/owsaffiliation
Please pass on to people in your networks!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We welcome members of OS and OWS to join us in the research project and are happy to share data. Contact Max Liboiron: mlib...@mun.ca

About the researchers:
Max Liboiron is an Assistant Professor of culture and technology at Memorial University of Newfoundland. She is a co-founding member of the Superstorm Research Lab, a mutual aid research collective on disasters, and an active participant in Occupy Wall Street from 2011 to 2013. Her research and activism focuses on how harmful emerging phenomena such as “slow” disasters and toxicants from plastics are made manifest in science and advocacy, and how these methods of representation relate to action. www.maxliboiron.com
Ben Davalos is pursuing a Masters in Environment and Development at the London School of Economics. He is writing his dissertation on Occupy Sandy, specifically looking at the ways OWS became OS, the sense of community constructed in both movements and the replicability of OS-type responses in the case of future storms. He is interested in how communities form in social movements.
Best,
