Occupy Research Handbook
What is the Occupy Research Handbook?
A shared resource to print, publish, and distribute both on and off line, that:
- Gives an overview of how to do movement based research / occupy research / research justice;
- Provides concrete examples and tools (e.g. Field Report, Interview structure, Survey sheet, etc.);
- Provides info about how to upload / share research to open/collaborative spaces.
Eventually we'd like to publish this online using a collaborative book authoring platform called Booki. Check it out here: http://www.booki.cc/
The Occupy Handbook will be Creative Commons licensed and distributed online and in camps. Please be aware of this when you submit content! Thanks!

Yes! In addition to contributing content, there are lots of ways to participate more directly:
