Today, authoritarianism is rising globally, and those who dare to contest authoritarian governments are often forced into exile. Traditional measures of human rights protection may not be sufficient. In this context, universities have the capacity to function as semi-safe spaces that offer resources, networks, and communities that allow HRDs to sustain their work. Drawing on comparative case studies from Russia, Myanmar, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Thailand, the course integrates insights from sociology, political science, forced migration studies, and human rights research. We explore the factors contributing to or hindering activist agency in exile and use the concept of intersectionality to explore the challenges that HRDs face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-3608267a\">A distinctive feature of the course is that it brings together students, scholars, and activists as both participants and co-teachers. Activists in exile will join the sessions to share their lived experiences, discuss survival strategies, and reflect on the political and institutional challenges they face. The course is conducted in partnership with Off-University, an organisation dedicated to supporting at-risk scholars and activists through online formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-80e4c355\">The seminar is part of the joint research project with the University of York funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, which investigates universities as protection infrastructures for HRDs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1d112162 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"learning-outcomes\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-59db816a gb-headline-text\">Learning Outcomes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-9d79f04e\"><strong>A general understanding of:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How universities (may) protect and support activists in exile.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Core theoretical approaches to agency, activism, and exile under authoritarian regimes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparative cases of academic and activist displacement in Europe and Southeast Asia.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-88c14202\"><strong>The skills to be gained upon active participation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Acquaintance with key literature on activism in exile.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skills in comparative analysis of country cases and different protection regimes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The capacity to clearly present analytical arguments in written and oral form.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"course-outline\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-28db6432 gb-headline-text\">Course Outline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">You can see and download the course syllabus below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-3120ace5\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Exile_Activisim_University_Syllabus_SS26.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:890px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von Exile_Activisim_University_Syllabus_SS26.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-60b4df49-f088-4376-b3a9-1f1f88773325\" href=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Exile_Activisim_University_Syllabus_SS26.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exile_Activisim_University_Syllabus_SS26<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-76c32fff gb-tabs__item\" id=\"instructors\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e16d3ebf\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-4b4724dc gb-headline-text\">Instructors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-d5dee530\" id=\"Aimal-Formolly\"><div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-3ce32d4f\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-f072f08a\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f072f08a\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-7256b09c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-7256b09c photo-shadow img\" src=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Alexander_Kalgin.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Alexander_Kalgin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Alexander_Kalgin.jpg 720w, https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Alexander_Kalgin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Alexander_Kalgin-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-3621cf4a\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3621cf4a\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ba518d88 gb-headline-text\">Alexander Kalgin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Alexander Kalgin is a sociologist and an economist.
