Rethinking Resistance

To mark the release of our sixth magazine on Resistance, Consented brings you Rethinking Resistance.

Resistance is often glorified and co-opted, erasing the work of the many to romanticise the few. Individuals, typically “the big men of history”, are credited with initiating whole movements, even though they involved thousands, sometimes millions of people. Whose resistance matters in this context and why?

How can we re-imagine resistance, learning from the past and the present, to initiate broader movements that seek to create a better world? What roles do we all have in this struggle, if any at all? And how can we connect our struggles and show solidarity with one another, even if our interests aren’t always directly aligned?

This event will explore these themes and much more, across two panels examining what it means to resist and asking what it is we’re resisting. Speakers TBA. All tickets come with a copy of our new magazine on Resistance.

This event will take place on the 8th April from 1.00 pm at Birkbeck’s Malet Street campus in room B34.

All money raised from this event covers the costs of running the event and contributes to the costs of printing our quarterly print magazine.
