Register Now for Summer 2025 Online Courses
Deadline: June 2, 2025
The network is offering two Online Course summer sessions with over 30 classes focusing on a wide range of liberal arts and sciences topics.
From colonialism and human rights to civic responsibility, many courses provide rare interdisciplinary takes on important contemporary issues. Other classes provide equally fascinating analyses of topics such as the role of music in protest movements and environmental management.
Limited seats left for the following summer courses:
kNOwVAWdata (Know Violence Against Women Data) addresses the global priority of combating violence against women (VAW). Recognizing the scarcity of high-quality data on VAW prevalence, the course offers a sustainable solution by building local capacities to collect, analyze, and communicate data. This course aims to build a global professional workforce that is data literate and skilled in undertaking reliable and ethical VAW research.

Multidimensional Legitimation Strategies of Authoritarian Regimes offers a general introduction to the concepts of political legitimacy in authoritarian contexts by focusing on the case of Russia from the early 2000s until today.

The course is timely as it provides the tools to understand the current wave of authoritarianism.
