Social Change Around the World

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
We invite proposals on all aspects of emancipatory education and theatre
including power relations in the learning environment, systems of structural
privilege and oppression, and subversive challenge. We encourage proposals
that relate to any oppressed group. For inclusion in the conference, your
proposal must relate in some manner to Paulo Freire's model of liberatory
education or Augusto Boal's approach to interactive theatre. We welcome
proposals from teachers, theatre artists, and community activists who employ
in their work or research the ideas of Freire and/or Boal. Please make this
connection clear in your proposal. We strongly encourage interactive
presentations. Proposals must be postmarked or emailed via website by
January 31st, 2000. Web submissions are available, and are strongly
encouraged.

About The Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed...
The Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed is a not-for-profit organization
with a mission to challenge oppressive systems by promoting critical
thinking and social justice. We organize an annual meeting that focuses on
the work of liberatory educators, activists, and community organizers.
Conference attendees will collaborate in investigations of the roots of
class, race, and gender inequalities. This event provides opportunities to
combine action and reflection.
Liberatory practitioners and theorists will find the conference a
stimulating place to share their knowledge and to reflect on and improve
their work. We hope that what we practice in our conference can be achieved
in the world.
The 2000 conference will be held on the Minneapolis campus of the University
of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Join us for interesting and provocative discussions and performances, as we
collectively consider ways to apply the ideologies and practices of Freire
and Boal.
Attendees will include social activists from across the United States and
from around the world.
Our website at www.unomaha.edu/~pto will provide updates about the
conference as information becomes available.
