Thesis Title: Nonviolent resistance failure: why climate campaigns do not achieve their stated outcomes
Supervisors: Professor Stephen Fisher and Dr Mathis Ebbinghaus
I am a DPhil in Sociology student at Kellogg College researching internal factors explaining why nonviolent climate campaigns do not achieve their stated objectives. For this, I analyse various factors reaching from resources, organisational structures, support bases to tactics and strategies. I conduct ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and text analysis.
I also lead Oxford's discussion group on social movements that bridges different departments and brings together faculty and students to advance protest studies.
I am the co-founder of the climate group Letzte Generation and active in the environmental movement.
