Dana R. Fisher is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and the Director of the Center for Society and the Environment at the University of Maryland.

Recently, her work has explored the relationship between forms of mobilization and retention in social movements, as well as the relationship between activism and electoral politics. She is the author of
Activism, Inc. (Stanford University Press 2006) and
National Governance and the Global Climate Change Regime (Rowman and Littlefield Press 2004).
