This year we organized the third edition of 'Resistance, Power, and Movements' in collaboration with the Sociology of Development and Change group at WUR. As a 6 ECTS course, students were encouraged to reflect on what it means to be an activist in today's political context and how to integrate this into their academic lives. This capita selecta created a space to explore and reflect on agency and power with a focus on combining theory and practice.
While Dr. Elisabet Rasch and Michiel Kohne delivered the theoretical background of the course, external facilitators were invited to stimulate practice. Community builders, storytellers, theater performers, musicians, and many more came to share their varied knowledge and experience with students over the course of two intensive weekends.
The course came to a close with actions designed by participants to address current socioecological injustices operating across several levels of society. Together we created zines of resistance, told stories of personal empowerment and vulnerability, and reminded each other of the importance of regenerative cultures within the spheres of activism.
