Working with People : A conference on Keywords & Contested Meanings

Working with People : A conference on Keywords & Contested Meanings

April 7, 2012, 10-3:30pm, with a reception to follow
Theresa Lang Center, Arnhold Hall, The New School, 55 W. 13th Street, NY

Conference : http://www.working-with-people.org/public-exchange/
Project : www.working-with-people.org

When we talk about community-university collaborations, some powerful words are ill-defined; other critical words are conspicuously absent. How can wrestling with these words affect our practice?

Please join us for a one-day event at The New School focused on developing critical conversations around “civic engagement” and the pedagogy and politics of teaching “with communities.”

The day’s conversations will foster challenging collisions between different understandings of six crucial keywords—community + collaboration; politics + citizenship; and representation + human—as we consider even the most seemingly familiar terms and concepts from new perspectives and begin to build a more nuanced way of working with people.
The event also marks the launch of Buscada’s collaborative project with the Working with People team : Keywords : Working with People, an online archive of divergent definitions : www.working-with-people.org

Lisa Yun Lee
Director of the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
