How does the ARN work?

  • We work with movement groups to identify how research could support their campaigns, projects or activities
  • We support researchers to volunteer to work on meaningful projects that build power to effect change
  • Groups submit research requests, and we match them to ARN members with the right skills
  • ARN researchers work solo or in teams, usually remotely. They read and agree to our purpose and principles prior to volunteering
  • We ask groups for feedback, which helps us improve our methods. Over time, we build intelligence that makes movements more powerful
  • We are supported by the Movement Research Unit in the UK. You can read more about their projects and achievements — which we hope to emulate here in Oceania — by checking out their 2024 report.
