Tuesday, October 21 11:45 AM - 1:45 PM
Sobrato Center — Sobrato Club
Nonviolence trainer Eileen Flanagan will offer two participatory sessions at USF to help students and community members understand nonviolent resistance and principles to make activism more effective in the face of more authoritarian leadership. The sessions will be designed so that participants can attend one or both.
In this first session, How Non-cooperation Subverts Power, we will focus on the ways that power relies on the consent of ordinary people, and how they can undermine unjust or authoritarian policies by removing their consent. It will include historic and contemporary examples. This session will have two parts, so those with an afternoon class can still participate in the first hour.
Presented by the Lane Center, The Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, and The Office of Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
