23 Building social change feat. Jane Holgate, John Page
-

In this episode, Simon and Martin chat with the authors ofChangemakers – Radical Strategies for Social Movement Organising, Jane Holgate and John Page, who both have long and distinguished involvement in the theory and practice of organising.
At the heart of the debate is how to operate in acomplex and conflicting environment of union cultures, legislative frameworks and employer obfuscation – and (spoiler alert!) there is no checklist for success. Quoting Marshall Ganz John sums it up thus: “If you want to build power, you have to cede control.”
You can hear Jane talking about other areas of her work in thisUnions21 podcast, and John and Jane discuss the more research-orientated content of their book in thisTransforming Society episode.
Jane Holgate is Professor of Work and EmploymentRelations at the University of Leeds and a Trustee of the Ella Baker School of Organising. John Page serves on the committee of the Ella Baker School of Organising.
Changemakers by Jane Holgate and John Page is available on Policy Press for £14.99 here.
