Author: Michael T Heaney

Michael T. Heaney is a Research Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow. He is a political scientist who examines the interaction of political parties, social movements, interest groups, and social networks from an interdisciplinary perspective. His research has examined the politics of health and welfare lobbying, the grassroots politics of the antiwar movement after 9/11, and social networks among activists in the Democratic and Republican parties. His current agenda focuses on organizational and grassroots mobilization in the aftermath of the 2016 election, including the resurgence of women's activism, as well as other emerging protests on the right and left of the political spectrum. With Fabio Rojas, he is author of Party in the Street: The Antiwar Movement after 9/11 (Cambridge University Press, 2015). With Melody Shemtov and Marco Roldán, he is creator, producer, and writer of a documentary film, The Activists: War, Peace, and Politics in the Streets (Bullfrog Films, 2017). His articles appear in journals such as the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Sociology, Perspectives on Politics, Social Networks, Science Advances, American Politics Research, and the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.

Speech and Inclusion

Recognizing Conflict and Building Tools for Engagement

This semester-long series invites students, faculty and staff to openly discuss, listen, and engage with differing views on free speech and to advocate for voices that have historically been silenced — important issues that continue to challenge both our campus and the nation.

Sponsored by several U-M units and part of overall Diversity, Equity & Inclusion efforts on campus, this series of events explores how views about speech and inclusion play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports and journalism, and how to engage in productive conversations that can promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

For details of all upcoming events, visit the Speech & Inclusion Series website.
