to develop a nonviolent social movement.<BR><BR><BR>The course will specifically
consider:<BR><BR>Why social movements emerge and examples of them in
action,<BR><BR>Why nonviolence is important and how it works, and<BR><BR>How you
build a nonviolent social movement.<BR><BR> <BR>Based on the work of Bill
Moyer who set out the development stages of a<BR>social movement, you will learn
what type of activists there are and which<BR>are needed at each stage, and how
you can overcome negative problems of<BR>burnout, believing it's failed or
co-option by mainstream structures.<BR> <BR><BR>With guest
speakers:<BR><BR>Colin Archer, Secretary General of International Peace
Bureau<BR><BR>Howard Clark, Chair of War Resisters' International and author of
"People<BR>Power"<BR><BR>Course will be presented by Professor Dave Webb and
