Interrupting Innovation

Centring the Social

An incisive guide to how we can reframe social innovation towards the goal of societal transformation through compelling examples of community engaged action.

This book is for anyone who is passionate about social transformation and the potential to create a better world. By challenging established approaches to social innovation and connecting it with the pursuit of social justice, Interrupting Innovation showcases the countless ways educators, activists, students, artists, and change-makers of all kinds are creating the conditions for meaningful social transformations today. Practical, pragmatic and radical, the authors in this wide-ranging collection offer fresh insights into doing social innovation in expansive and unexpected ways. They elaborate on key concepts and present absorbing on-the-ground case examples to show how social innovation can be applied to vexing social questions, giving special attention to dismantling harmful and exclusive systems while eluding cooptation. This hopeful, passionate book brings together leading scholars and practitioners from social work, psychology, sociology, natural sciences, artmaking, and community practice to offer an original and bold contribution to this growing and influential field.
