Come explore "Waves of resistance, tides of change: grassroots movements for social and political transformation around the world" — a selection of materials documenting grassroots social and political movements and global reactions of solidarity and support.

What happens when social and political freedoms are actively limited and curtailed? Throughout the last 25 years in communities around the world, a number of grassroots movements have emerged organizing around resistance to authoritarian regimes, oppressive legislation, and restrictive social policies inhibiting free expression, bodily autonomy, and political agency.

This open house will feature books, periodicals, and other materials from the International Studies collections exploring these movements, their impacts, and the echoes of their resistance.

Join us for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!
