I am concerned that we are reinventing the wheel, and ignoring a substantial body of empirical and theoretical work that has already been done on the subject.
I share this concern, and believe that EAs are often guilty of ignoring existing fields of research from which they could learn a lot. I’m not sure whether this concern applies in this particular case, however. I spent several days looking into the sociological literature on social movements and didn’t find much of value. Have you stumbled across any writings that you would recommend?
