Erica Chenoweth Biography

Erica Chenoweth is an internationally renowned political scientist, author, and professor known for their groundbreaking research on civil resistance and nonviolent movements. Currently the Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard Kennedy School and a faculty affiliate at Harvard Law School, Chenoweth has reshaped global understanding of how ordinary people can drive political change.

Their work, particularly the co-authored book Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict, has become a seminal text in the study of nonviolent action. Through empirical research, Chenoweth demonstrated that nonviolent campaigns are more than twice as effective as violent ones in achieving their goals—transforming both academic and activist communities around the world.

Named by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers, Chenoweth has authored several books and published widely in both scholarly journals and mainstream media. They are also a co-director of the Crowd Counting Consortium, which tracks protest activity in the United States.

Through a combination of rigorous research and public engagement, Erica Chenoweth continues to influence how societies understand power, protest, and the possibilities of peaceful resistance.
