Resistance Studies Initiative, UMass Amherst, USA

The Resistance Studies Initiative at the University of Massachusetts Amherst strives to understand the dynamic relations among forms of resistance and power and how they relate to social change. It particularly considers the possibilities and problems, causes and impacts, and lived experiences of unarmed resisters, including those who live in dictatorships or nations under occupation as well as those who suffer discrimination and repression within liberal democracies.
We will post videos of events that we have presented as well as talks by Resistance Studies Initiative Director and Endowed Chair in the Study of Nonviolent Direct Action and Civil Resistance, Stellan Vinthagen
