Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an Online course?

Yes!

This will primarily be an online offering, likely on Zoom (stay tuned for the tech details). This will allow people from around the country and the world to join in. (No worries about having to deal with immigration or student visas)

For in-person students in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, you may join the class live by emailing support@resistancesummerschool.com to be added to the roster. This is a requirement and walk-ins will not be allowed.

I only filled out the Interest Form — am I enrolled?

Unfortunately, no.

Filling out the Interest Form does not guarantee enrollment. I was moving fast and testing interest only. Once I saw there was great demand (yes!!) I decided to officially move forward.

To officially secure your spot, you must either:

Complete your payment

Submit a scholarship request to assistant@resistancesummerschool.com by May 10.

Enrollment is confirmed only after payment + sent confirmation email or approved scholarship placement.

Will recordings be available?

Yes.

Recordings of the sessions will be made available throughout the course.

However, recordings will expire at the end of the course to keep materials current for future offerings and to maintain an intimate learning environment.

Will this course be available for credit at other institutions?

Not at this time.

However, I am exploring that possibility for the future. Stay tuned!

Is there a public syllabus I can review?

The full syllabus will be shared exclusively with enrolled students closer to the course start date.

It is currently being updated to reflect the most recent events and developments and adapt to a broader audience.

How are scholarships awarded?

Scholarships are awarded solely based on available funds from higher-tier enrollments (Anchor Tier and Mentorship Tier) and the donation pool.

We aim to distribute scholarships as fairly as possible based on available funding, and we deeply appreciate your understanding.

Please note: Unfortunately, applying does not guarantee a scholarship due to limited resources.

Can I join the course late?

No.

Enrollment will close before the course begins to preserve the integrity of the learning experience for all participants.

Can I upgrade my enrollment tier after registering?

Yes!

If you decide you would like to upgrade your enrollment (for example, to access the Discourse Tier and small-group discussions if eligible, or for Office Hours with me at the Mentorship Tier), you will be able to do so.

Email support@resistancesummerschool.com with the subject line “Tier Upgrade Request”

Will there be homework or assignments?

There will be optional readings and materials provided each week for those who wish to engage more deeply, but no formal assignments, grading, or required homework.

Is this a self-paced course or live?

This is a live-taught course.

Recordings will be available for review during the six-week course window, but real-time participation is strongly encouraged for the fullest experience.

Plus, I enjoy teaching live!

Will any of the lectures be live and in-person?

Possibly!

If you are based in the D.C., Maryland, or Virginia (DMV) area, you may have the opportunity to attend in-person by emailing support@resistancesummerschool to be added to the in-person roster.

Can I share my access or the recordings with others?

No.

Each registration is for one individual. Sharing course materials or access links with others is not permitted.

What technology will I need?

You will need:

A stable internet connection

Access to Zoom (free to download)

(And, an open mind, of course)

Full instructions and Zoom links will be provided before the first session.

Will there be readings provided?

Recommended readings, articles, and media materials will be provided to enrich each week’s topics. These are optional but encouraged.

Are guest speakers included in the course tuition?

All lectures, guest speaker sessions, and Q&A discussions (at the Discourse level and up) are included with your course enrollment — no additional fees.

What is the refund policy?

Due to the nature of this course and the limited spaces available, all sales are final.

Please be certain you are ready to participate before enrolling. Thanks for understanding!

I can't attend the course — can I still support the project?

Yes!

If you would like to contribute toward funding scholarships, guest lecturers, tech support, rental space for live sessions, and planting the seed for future offerings of this course, you can make a contribution here.

Your support helps expand access, build the community, and sustain this important work for the future.
