Have you ever felt like you have to read a whole stack of books before getting involved in activism? In this episode Mikaela and Jo discuss the power as well as the shortcomings of theory for social change. In connection to social movement struggles, they discuss how theory has become abstract rather than a tool rooted in community and give pointers how we can change this. Enjoy!
