As part of the Oslo Scholars program this summer, I’ve been working remotely for Jamila Raqib at the Albert Einstein Institution. The organization specializes in the study of nonviolent methods of resistance and how they can be used in conflicts globally. My work with the Institution has largely involved researching the use of nonviolent resistance in conflicts around the world today. I’ve learned about the civil disobedience of the Catalan Crisis in 2017-2018, the Abolish ICE sit-ins taking place across the US, and the Afghan Peace March, where nearly 200 men marched across the country during Ramadan to call for an end to the war between the Taliban and the government.
