  • 17. 3. 2025

The Oxford Spring School 2025: Resistance and Resilience, organized by the EPS-associated partner – the Europaeum, takes place on March 17 – 20. Three packed days of lectures, keynote speeches, student presentations, and group discussions are prepared.  EPS students selected via a call for papers present their MA research and discuss their colleagues’ papers.

The papers will be addressing the theme of Resistance and Resilience concerning the following topics:

  • Theoretical frameworks for understanding resistance and resilience in political systems
  • Comparative studies of resistance movements and their long-term impacts across different cultures and time periods
  • The role of civil society in fostering resilience during political crises
  • The intersection of resistance, resilience, and identity politics
  • Digital resistance and cyber-activism in the 21st century
  • Environmental resistance movements and community resilience in the face of climate change
  • Resilience and resistance to neoliberal policies and the impact of globalization on this
  • The role of art, literature, and media in documenting and inspiring resistance or fostering resilience

Participants will join lively working groups during the event and hear from experts on the central themes. Those not presenting a paper will also be allocated a role as discussant to kick-start Q&A sessions after presentations.
