Chris Courtheyn's Research on Global Solidarity
Chris Courtheyn, associate professor of global studies, is studying community resilience in Medellín, Colombia, focusing on nonviolent action against violence and displacement.
Courtheyn and his partners at Casa Cultural La Chispa analyze international support for social and political movements, aiming to understand decolonial solidarity that respects local autonomy.
- Research focuses on the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, a group resisting displacement nonviolently in a war zone.
- The study examines the effectiveness of the Fellowship of Reconciliation's protective accompaniment of the community.
Understanding how solidarity can be decolonial is key to respecting local communities' autonomy and leadership.
