"Miceli is [...] unapologetic about the Inquiry’s political dimension. “When you give back the epistemic authority, or the power to actually decide what is important & what is not, that research has double value....The first one is to the outside: to inform us about what’s going on. But also to the inside: because that’s research that is supporting organizing efforts. That’s research that matters to them, for them to collectivize and take action.”
