Golcheski’s ‘AHR’ Article Explores Resilience in Social Movements


Graduate student Amelia Golcheski co-authored an article just published in a special edition of The American Historical Review focused on the theme of resilience. In their article, Golcheski and co-author Jessie Ramey (Chatham Univ.) use the career of activist Kipp Dawson to examine how resilience can operate in social movements even as they encounter setbacks, losses, and violent repression. Golcheski and Ramey’s multimedia, open education website, “Kipp Dawson: The Struggle Is the Victory,” develops the idea of “radical collaboration” and focuses on movement networks, interconnections, and affects. Their contribution includes an introduction to Dawson’s work and a video on the making of the site. The Kipp Dawson site was produced by the Emory University Center for Digital Scholarship, co-directed by Dr. Allen E. Tullos. Read the AHR piece, titled “Love, Hope, and Joy,” and view an interview with Dawson from their site below.
