SET up in 2021, according to its website, the Social Change Lab is a nonprofit that “conducts and disseminates social movement research to help solve the world’s most pressing problems,” with a particular interest in environmental protest.
This research, it hopes, will “inform advocates, decision-makers and philanthropists on the best ways to accelerate positive social change.” Founder and director James Ozden tells Ian Sinclair about the Social Change Lab’s origins, some of its key research findings and the importance of Extinction Rebellion’s (XR) action The Big One taking place from April 21-24.
