We will also reflect on the skills and agency of ordinary people, their strategies and tactics, backfire, role of gender in civil resistance, and long-term impact of civil resistance. <br><br><em>Course goals</em> <ul><li>provide interactive and structured learning environment for studying civil resistance</li><li>introduce participants to the main concepts and ideas of civil resistance </li><li>reflect on effectiveness of civil resistance, and its power to overcome adversarial conditions </li><li>facilitate moderated discussions among participants, including their on-the-ground experience </li><li>help participants become effective conveyors of civil resistance knowledge </li></ul><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>When</strong></span>: October 9 - November 25, 2015<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>Where</strong></span>: Online Learning Platform: <a href="http://civilresistancestudies.org" target="_blank">civilresistancestudies.org</a>. <br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>Who should apply</strong></span>: Graduate students, field practitioners, civil society and policy professionals and educators from around the world interested in the subject matter. <br><br></div>
