SPS Professor Anne Marie Goetz Featured in NYT Series on Women in Resistance Movements

by

SPS faculty member Anne Marie Goetz was recently featured in the launch of In Her Words: She Resists, an NYT newsletter series examining the pivotal historical role of women in resistance movements. Women have often formed the tactical and intellectual core of these movements, in which femininity has been strategically deployed, in Goetz’s words, as “a force that will dampen or discourage any violence.” Successful power realignments driven by female activism nonetheless rarely result in leadership roles for the women involved. The NYT series will examine these dynamics and their evolution in the era of social media through a series of in-depth profiles from across the globe. 


In Her Words: She Resists dovetails with CALA’s semester theme of “Your Voices, Your Votes: Activism Around the World.” Check out our film series, featuring politically-themed global films including Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey and the Academy Award-Nominated documentary The Cave. Those with an interest in politics and gender should also check out these upcoming CALA courses: The Evolution of American Free Speech, Great Modern Speeches, Wit Against the Patriarchy: Mid-Century Women Writers, and Plays with a Social Conscience.

As the U.S. presidential election rapidly approaches, this series focuses on the state of democracy and democratic values around the globe. Through four powerful international films, we examine the critical importance of individual and collective political engagement across various issues. We consider how shifting the boundaries of our democracies can allow for the inclusion of a greater array of voices. And we remind ourselves that liberty can never be taken for granted.
