"Nonviolent Struggle: The Real Power for Peace"

Jamila Raqib will introduce participants to Dr. Gene Sharp's work on
strategic nonviolent struggle and its impact on social and political
movements worldwide. Jamila will speak about the operation of this powerful
technique of action, and how it is being used by groups in diverse conflicts
around the world to struggle against oppression and for greater freedom.

Jamila Raqib serves as the Executive Director of the Albert Einstein
Institution in Boston, MA. She works closely with Dr. Gene Sharp, this
year's AFSC nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize and the foremost scholar on
strategic nonviolent struggle. She is a Research Affiliate at the Center of
