Chris Courtheyn's Study on Global Solidarity
Chris Courtheyn, associate professor of global studies, is researching community resilience in Medellín, Colombia.
Courtheyn and his partners at Casa Cultural La Chispa are analyzing international support for social and political movements.
- They focus on decolonial solidarity, respecting local autonomy and leadership.
- The study examines the effectiveness of the Fellowship of Reconciliation's accompaniment of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó.
Understanding how solidarity can be decolonial is key to their research.
Courtheyn's work aims to understand how communities resist violence and displacement through nonviolent action.
