Resistance and Nonviolence 7.5 credits
About the course
The course deals with strategies for non-military resistance against various forms of violence, threats and oppression. We examine how resistance has been conducted historically, but also what role resistance and nonviolence play in the development of society today. We look at research about the driving forces and consequences of resistance, and we discuss the relationship between pacifism as an ideology and nonviolence as practice.
