Abstract
This paper addresses the policy mobilities approach's relative inattention to counter-hegemonic activism and contentious politics. It outlines one way to expand the literature's engagement with the political. By introducing the notion of "moving ideas"-ideas that circulate among places and also move people to political action-it outlines five avenues for policy mobilities scholars to advance the approach: situated knowledge on-the-move; persuasive storytelling; encounters in physical "truth-spots"; the temporalities of activism; and the role of "futuring" in policy change. It ends with notes on the framework's possible applicability to numerous social movements and its challenges and limitations.
