Hello RSC,
I've been thinking about the June Retreat.
My proposal is to have a study session on Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of
the Oppressed and to look closely at the principle descriptions as
laid out in the workbook.
If people would like to start some dialogue about them through e-
mail, I'm game for that. For instance through interviewing Frank
Martin last week about the principles, he brought to my attention
that aesthetics basically means awareness.

German ästhetisch, from New Latin aestheticus, from Greek
aisthētikos - of sense perception, from aisthanesthai - to perceive
Like the opposite of Anesthesia: Loss of feeling or awareness http://

So social justice aesthetics, might simply mean the awareness of
social justice when creating work, events or actions in our communities.
peace.
Hope
