The book uniquely bridges social movement theory with behavioral research, offering a comprehensive view of resistance mechanisms, emphasizing that countering propaganda requires both critical thinking and collective action.

 
The book unfolds across three key sections. First, it introduces core concepts of propaganda and resistance, drawing from social psychology and communication studies. Second, it examines case studies of resistance movements, analyzing strategies and tactics employed. Finally, it synthesizes insights for practical recommendations. For instance, the book discusses how social movements frame counter-narratives and mobilize support.

 
By integrating individual psychology with social movement theory, Influence and Resistance provides a nuanced understanding of resistance. It adopts an accessible tone, making it valuable for students, activists, and policymakers, aiming to improve critical thinking and promote media literacy. The book connects to political science, sociology, and communication studies, providing a holistic understanding of propaganda, resistance, and social change.

Life on the Bridge - Linking My...

Kaelynn Partlow

Narrated by the author! Experience Life on the Bridge in the voice of Autistic Advocate, Love on the Spectrum cast member, and therapist Kaelynn Partlow herself.

This audiobook features new material that makes it a must-listen, including an introduction from and read by Cian O'Clery, director of Netflix's hit series Love on the Spectrum, as well as a bonus conversation with Kaelynn Partlow and Lisa Lane, co-CEO and co-Founder of Project Hope Foundation, a nonprofit autism service provider.

Life on the Bridge is a warm, personal, and practical guide to understanding autism—from behaviors to communication and beyond.
You've heard from autistic authors.
You've heard from therapists.
Now hear from one extraordinary young woman who's both.
Experience autism from the inside out through a rare fusion of professional skill and personal understanding. Reshape what you know about the autism spectrum and increase your ability to give support. Varied perspectives among autistic individuals, their families, and professionals have often been difficult to reconcile. Now, you can bridge that divide with guidance from someone who’s lived in multiple worlds. Find immediate, actionable options to build connections, foster communication, navigate challenges, and enhance interactions.
SPECIFIC CONTENT:
Autism. What it is, what it isn’t, and what are the resulting misunderstandings across the spectrum?
Communication. Exactly how do you avoid misunderstandings, encourage conversation, and build options for better interaction?
Behavior. Learn about the origin and mechanics of meltdowns, stimming, perseveration, sensory distortion, and other common autistic challenges.
Interaction. The struggles are real: autism-enhanced loneliness, social-skill deficits, goal-setting, and the thorny issues of disability accommodation.
Common Questions. What are DSM-V diagnostic levels and why do they matter? What about therapy and ABA or routes to useful advocacy?
"Loved Kaelynn Partlow's information on ambiguity and communication. She gives lots of practical pointers on how to be more direct and specific when talking to autistic individuals. Vague, open ended questions are not effective communication." — Temple Grandin, New York Times bestselling author of Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions
"As a rising star in the field, Partlow is poised to become this generation’s Temple Grandin." — Erin R. Hahn, Ph.D., Department Chair and Professor of Psychology, Furman University
