Making Change

by Ben Bas — last modified Nov 12, 2013 03:50 AM

Making Change is a research project ran by CIS and HIVOS Knowledge Programme exploring new ways of defining, locating, and understanding change in network societies. Having the thought piece 'Whose Change is it Anyway' as an entry point for discussion and reflection, this section will feature profiles, interviews and responses of change-makers to questions around current mechanisms and practices of change in South Asia and South East Asia. This compilation of oral stories, at the intersections of digital technologies and political activism, will uncover the less visible narratives of change and unpack the discourse around social change in the digital era.
