“Prisoners of Conscience in the U.S.”  Anya Stanger is a PhD Candidate in Social Science.  She studies U.S. citizens who resist militarism and empire through a nonviolent tactic called "prison witness." In their moments of action (hammering on weapons, illegal trespass) and in the trials and imprisonments that result, the activists' identities (as white, well educated, privileged) are crucial. Tracing their experiences from discernment of action through release from prison, Anya's research shows how "who we are" matters both personally and politically. In particular, her research finds that gender shapes how justice action prisoners experience and understand the world, what they believe to be real and important, and hence-- what they do.   Please join Anya for a critical discussion of her work.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
