The 2nd Annual Regimes Museum Scholarly Conference on Tyranny will be hosted at University of California, Irvine, on September 27, 2025. The event will be held in room HG 1030, time TBA.

This year, we are dedicating the conference to José Daniel Ferrer García, who has spent decades advocating for human rights in Cuba. In his honor, this event will focus on the theme of “Dissidence and Political Action in the 20th and 21st Centuries,” an exploration that promises to unearth fresh insights and spark dynamic conversations. Topics of interest include:

​

• Historical case studies of dissident movements

• Theoretical frameworks for understanding political action

• The role of technology and social media in modern activism

• Comparative studies of dissidence across different regions

• The impact of political action on policy and governance

• Intersectionality in political movements

• The evolution of protest strategies and tactics

• Legal and ethical dimensions of political dissent

• The influence of cultural and artistic expressions on activism
