Hello, all,
On behalf of numerous community-based organizations, municipal offices and state agencies with which I am collaborating, this serves to announce two upcoming summer institutes to be held at Tufts University. A flyer for each is attached (Peace Institute and River Institute); brief information for each is included as text below.
We would appreciate your posting the flyer and/or forwarding this message as appropriate. We are now accepting applications from upper level undergrads and Masters candidates. Forms are available on the web sites (one is under construction and should be completed very soon).
Thanks for any assistance you may provide.
For peace and justice,
Dale Bryan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Institute in Social Movements and Strategic Nonviolence: An Experiential
Inquiry into Peace Action. This institute, a collaboration of PJS and
the New Century Peace Leadership Project, a coalition of local and national
peace organizations, including municipal agencies, community-based non-profits,
and research institutes, explores both the limits and potential of strategic
nonviolence in the peace movement, and the prevailing social science theories
about social movements, generally. Twice a week, students attend a seminar
to discuss the role of nonviolence in social movements. Simultaneously,
each student completes an internship with a NCPLP member organization in
the Boston area. Internship placements provide students opportunities to
observe and participate in strategic decision-making and implementation
of nonviolent tactics. The institute is designed to facilitate systematic
analysis and testing of both
social movement and nonviolence theory and practice in concrete settings.
Financial stipends are provided to each intern; additional financial support
may become available. Enrollment is limited and competitive. For an application
contact Dale Bryan, Assistant Director, PJS, 109 Eaton Hall, Tufts University,
Medford, MA 02155 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED], or see http://ase.tufts.edu/pjs.
Applications due April 15, 2001; send directly to PJS.
The New Century Environmental Leadership Institute: An Experiential
Inquiry into Watershed Restoration. This combined seminar/internship
project, which represents a project of the Mystic Watershed Collaborative
(MWC) will explore both the limits and the potential of strategic action
in the environmental movement, as well as the prevailing social science
theories about social movements more generally. Twice a week, students
attend a seminar to discuss the role of strategy in social movements with
particular attention to biophysical watershed restoration strategies growing
out of environmental management. Simultaneously, each student completes
an internship with a MWC member organization in the Boston metropolitan
area. Internship placements provide students opportunities to observe and
participate in strategic decision-making and implementation of nonviolent
tactics. The institute is designed to facilitate systematic analysis and
testing of both social movement and nonviolence theory and practice in
concrete settings. Financial stipends are provided to each intern; additional
financial support may become available. Enrollment is limited and competitive.
