Chapter Chapter 6 in The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Human Resource Development, 2023, pp 91-108 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter draws on previous calls to embrace critical human resource development (CHRD) approaches that challenge the mainstream human resource development's historically dominating normative structures, practices, policies, and definitions (HRD). To do so, this chapter draws on research on Social Movement Organizations (SMOs) to discuss prefigurative spaces as a means of facilitating bottom-up change in organizations by providing safe and nurturing spaces for members to identify new opportunities, recruit new participants, develop new identities, and form and discuss multiple perspectives. The prefigurative space of the Occupy London movement will be investigated, with the goal of learning more about developing an alternative, integrated framework for understanding and practicing HRD.
