*Z1. Movie Night in the Afternoon: Good Trouble

History & World Affairs | Available (Membership Required)

Over time, people have organized themselves to overturn authoritarians and their repressive regimes nonviolently. How have they done that? Interviews and documentaries online describe and discuss such movements. This course offers a time to watch some of these together, to consider, for example, Gandhi’s nonviolent work against the British and the Montgomery bus boycott against segregation and racism. How does civil resistance work, and how does it work best? There will be time to share thoughts and questions about the ideas and practices in these videos. No homework. BYOP! Bring your own popcorn!
