Remembering Resistance was developed by Sarah Marsden and Chris Boyko. We're lecturers at Lancaster University. Chris works on urban design, and Sarah looks at politics and protest.

From   the   beginNing

Where   we   are   now

Chris and Sarah first started exploring the potential of bringing together ideas about urban design and political protest in 2016. We began with a shared interest in how people use space and what this reveals about efforts to bring about political change. Since then we've been testing out ideas and seeing where it takes us. 

At the moment, we're really interested in learning how those involved in protests experience the urban environment. To understand this better, we're in the process of setting up a series of events and research projects where people can share their protest stories. You can read more about some of the ways we want to do this here.

We want the research team to involve more than people who work in universities. We're interested in collaborating with protesters, police, press, and bystanders. If that's you: get in touch.
