Announcing the launch of A New Publication by the Social Practices Research Group and Office for Inclusivity (O4I). Launch on 23rd October, 2024 @ Research Station. Willem de Kooning Academy, Wijnhaven 61, 3011 WJ Rotterdam.
Wor(l)ding: A Harvested Glossary for Social Justice in Arts Education and Beyond is a glossary of references harvested from discourses of equity, diversity, inclusivity, social justice, and social practices, not only in an arts edu cation context, but also as part of broader, systemic urgencies.
Words are contextualised through a praxis of referencing the many writers, thinkers, artists, and creators who have deeply engaged with, or even coined, the terms in this publication. Multiple interconnected struggles are interwoven through and within the voices that are present in this glossary. This approach acknowledges that we already have all the tools and words we need; the work is not to innovate or invent, but to amplify and connect.
Wor(l)ding emerges in a time of institutional cultures of austerity, against a global backdrop of rising fascism in the Global North and horrific imperialist, neocolonial violence (in Congo, Gaza, Sudan, Tigray, and many other places). At moments such as these, it is vital to take stock of where we are, and to share what tools, allies, and words we have.
The ‘conveners’ of the publication are Michelle Teran, Kari Robertson and Pablo Lerma from the Social Practices Research Group, together with Ali Şahin from the Office for Inclusivity (O4i).
