John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics presents: The Practice of Citizenship Civic Café event with Erica Chenoweth
Join us for this Practice of Citizenship series and Civic Café public discussion with Erica Chenoweth, the Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard Kennedy School and director of the Nonviolent Action Lab. In this insightful public lecture, Chenoweth will explore the profound evolution of global activism, sharing how civil resistance shaped the 20th century, and how the geopolitical currents of the 21st century have shaped civil resistance in turn.
A leading expert on political violence and its alternatives, Chenoweth’s research focuses on how people effectively resist authoritarianism and push for systemic change. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into the strategies, outcomes, and future of modern democracy movements around the world.
Presented by the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at WashU and the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement as part of the Practice of Citizenship Series.
