Can’t enroll this summer, but just donated.

I’m remembering your friend and colleague Jamal Khashoggi, whose assassination is why I first heard of you and read your commentary.

So excited for you and all your lucky students.

Congratulations on this big step, and thank you for offering of yourself to better educate us. My husband and I have both signed up for the anchor tier as we know there are others who are interested in and want to benefit from this course but can't afford it. They say that all ships rise on the high tide, but this is how we go about doing it for everyone.

Would you consider offering a second section for West coast participants? The current class is 1) filled and 2) wouldn’t work for me anyways because I work until 6 pm PST most days of the week.

Or perhaps you might consider recording the class and allowing us to watch it when we have time?

Yes, the sessions will be recorded, and available during the course window!

I love to learn. I recognize we have been taught an incomplete and distorted history of our country and the world. You deserve to be paid for your knowledge, work, and expertise. I am not in a position/situation, as an older American to sign up for your course. I also would not want to take a scholarship from a younger person who can impact the world with this knowledge more than I can at this stage of my life. I support you and applaud your action in standing up for what is right, and resisting the hobbling and corruption of higher education - which SHOULD BE sacrosanct. Keep going, Karen! You are beautiful (inside and out), courageous, and resourceful in finding a way to disseminate this important knowledge. And thanks to Waj for bringing attention to your cause. Onward!

I applaud your tenacity with putting your much needed knowledge into hungry minds! The resistance is strong, and will grow exponentially with the wisdom from you and others! Many thanks!!!

Karen Attiah and/or Staff:

In 2 emails, I asked to be removed from the waitlist for this course and to be refunded the $300 that was charged to my Visa account. I’ve had no response.

Also, please go ahead and stop my subscription because I no longer wish to subscribe.

Just enrolled! Question, I'm doing with a friend here, can we be put in the same small group?

Hi— Most likely this will happen! I’m not going to have an idea of the breakdowns of small groups until Mid May, but to be sure pls email assistant@resistancesummerschool.com with the request!

Thank you SO much for being willing to teach this! In Texas, they have just introduced House Bill 1375 states that each "occurrence of obscenity that harms a person, regardless of whether the occurrence is part of a pattern of conduct, gives rise to a separate claim for civil liability."

With the OBSCENE budget cuts to the Board of Education, many local schools here in Houston are laying off teachers due to budget cuts but somehow are also simultaneously holding job fairs to replace said teachers.

One teacher I know has been observed 30 times within a year - speculation is because they teach media literacy and are looking for any way to control those aspects.

I hope that many are able to take this class and pass it on to their community.

This is so inspiring. Thank you! A few of us run a course on ethics, tech and public policy (for practitioners) out of Stanford, and this path forward is inspiring and lifting me/us up. Mega applause for your epic leadership. If you need a colleague to come ride shotgun for Zoom tech or space holding backup, happy to connect and see if I can help from that angle.

I signed up for the Fall 2025 course & apparently am listed. Do we pay before dates announced or after ?

Expand full comment
Karen Attiah's avatar

HI! Important question because there is confusion. That was an interest form, not an official enrollment. I was gauging interest in a Fall 2025 offering. If you are still interested, then you would be first in line when I open that up later in the summer. But enrollment for summer is only after payment. More here! https://karenattiah.substack.com/p/important-update-final-steps-to-join
