Jamila Raqib serves as the Executive Director of the Albert
Einstein Institution and as a Research Affiliate at the Center for
International Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT). She holds a degree in management from Simmons College.
She describes the work of the Institute.
The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization founded
by Dr. Gene Sharp in 1983 to advance the study and use of strategic
nonviolent action in conflicts throughout the world.
We are committed to the defense of freedom, democracy, and the
reduction of political violence through the use of nonviolent
action. Our goals are to understand the dynamics of
nonviolent action in conflicts, to explore its policy potential,
and to communicate this through print and other media,
translations, conferences, consultations, and workshops.
The Institution has been responsible for the translation and
dissemination of some of the most influential texts on nonviolent
action. Many of these works have been studied among resistance
movements worldwide.
