Headshot of researcher Rae

My name is Rae Kalscheuer (they/them) and I’m a fourth year English and History major from Sulphur, Louisiana. I believe The Nonviolence Project is so important because it gives activists of today and tomorrow a record of what nonviolent actions have worked in the past and what may work in the future. This type of learning from the past is present in some of my favorite areas of history like queer resistance, anti-imperial action, and the history of narcotics which I’m currently writing my Senior Honors Thesis on. I also work in the History Dept. as a Mosse Peer Advisor and am the President of Phi Alpha Theta, UW-Madison’s History Honor Society.
