New Social Movements

On 22 November 2002 the third ODIS workshop was held in the Conference Room of the Lower House of the Flemish Parliament in Brussels. The meeting focused on the subject of the New Social Movements.

This umbrella term refers to the new organisations that grew out of the wave of social protests at the end of the 1960s (the peace movement, environmental movement, the women´s movement, …). Historians and social scientists put their findings together, determined their current position and explored new methods and lines of investigation.

The proceedings of this workshop have been published in the Belgian Review of Contemporary History (Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Nieuwste Geschiedenis - BTNG). A separate issue of this has also been published in the series Odisea.
