This week marks my tenth and final week at the Albert Einstein Institution (AEI). My time spent working with Executive Director and nonviolent resistance scholar Jamila Raqib has been truly wonderful. Serving as both a time to reflect on the basic political freedoms that many of us take for granted, as well as a space to study resistance theory and its many nuances, I am forever grateful to have been given this opportunity. At the end of this week, I will return to my home on the West Coast for the last two weeks of summer, and though I will be grateful for the downtime before classes, I will surely miss the time I have spent delving into contemporary protest movements.
