Over two days, various faculty and librarians will offer 45-minute sessions (mini lectures and trainings) on a range of topics exploring the broad theme of this teach-in: Authoritarianism, State Violence and Resistance. In addition, there will be space for students to gather, talk, and learn how to contact elected officials, gain skills in safety and rights while protesting, share their ideas, and more.
These are topics and skills that faculty and librarians regularly offer to students in their classes.
