DESCRIPTION:"Non-Violent Organizing in the Midst of Repression: Learning fr
 om Activism in Rio de Janeiro’s Gang Territories" with Anjuli Fahlberg.Did
  you know that 80% of the world’s population lives in a country that is ei
 ther “not free” or “partially free”? In these contexts of political repres
 sion and threats of physical violence\, how are people able to mobilize fo
 r social change?&nbsp\;This is a question Dr. Fahlberg tackles in her awar
 d-winning book\, "Activism under Fire: The Politics of Non-Violence in Rio
  de Janeiro’s Gang Territories" (Oxford University Press\, 2023). In this 
 talk\, Dr. Fahlberg describes some of the major concepts developed in her 
 book\, theorizing the strategies deployed by social movement actors in Cid
 ade de Deus\, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most dangerous gang-controlled neigh
 borhoods.&nbsp\;Based on ethnographic fieldwork and Participatory Action R
 esearch conducted between 2014 and 2020\, Dr. Fahlberg shows how activists
  organize for rights and resources in a context of severe repression and p
 rovides concepts that allow us to examine the possibilities for non-violen
 t collective action in other areas of violence and repression.Anjuli Fahlb
 erg is assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Tufts Univers
 ity. Her research applies an intersectional lens to the study of social mo
 vements\, urban violence\, and uneven development in Latin America\, with 
 a particular focus on the possibilities for and types of activism in gang 
 territories.
