Summer Institute: Praxical Research. (May 23-29, Binghamton University)
Chris Cavanagh and María Lugones organized a seven-day summer institute that focused both on theorizing at the point of praxis and on popular education/participatory research as forms of radical concrete theorizing. They focused on both “techniques” of transformative work such as the creation of popular education situations/workshops and conducting participatory research and on theorizing at the point of struggle, from within the movement/organizing peopled situation.
They invited people who were engaged in a variety of theoretico-practical projects: the Broome County Jail Project, the Harm Free Zone project, the Escuela Popular Norteña, the Binghamton Incite! local chapter, as well as researchers/intellectuals who were interested in theorizing radical movement from within.
