Tomorrow, together with Ambassador Jeremy Kinsman, I will speak at Ryerson University, Toronto as part of its International Issues Discussion series. I will talk about my edited book Recovering Nonviolent History and delve into misconceptions about civil resistance in Syria, including reasons for hijacking the Syrian nonviolent movement by the armed struggle.
I am specializing in civil resistance history, study and practice. I look into how ordinary people organize and wage nonviolent coercive and constructive resistance to win their freedoms and rights, often against seemingly insurmountable odds. My interest includes nonviolent resistance strategies against dictatorships, in national defense and in countering foreign and domestic disinformation. Follow me @macbartkow
