Dear Hope, 

 

Spelling: Augusto Boal and Paolo Freire

 

Sorry for tooting my own horn: You may want to look at my book, The
Performer's Guide to the Collaborative Process, for sources for some of the
work we do.

 

Story Circles also come from John O'Neal; He has written a piece about them.

Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process is a part of ROOTS, although RSC may
not use it all the time.

I would look at some of Nayo Watkins' writing on RSC work and other work she
did, including the Alternate ROOTS Resources for Social Change Handbook.

 

Also, Bob Leonard's Building Arts and Community Partnerships Work Kit.

 

Best,

Sheila Kerrigan

Dear RSC,

 

I am in the midst of writing my thesis proposal about RSC learning
Exchanges. I have a question. Can we (facilitators who have used them) name
the sources used for the exercises/activities utilized in the LE's. I have
this short list.

Will people add on to it?

 

Augusta Boal, Story Circles as developed by Roadside Theater, Building Arts
and Community Partnerships: A Work Kit,Training for Change.

 

I am using Paula Friere "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" as the conceptual
framework and articles for the Literature Review - a couple are:Community
Change for Diverse Democracy(2007) by Barry Checkoway the founding Director
of the Centre for Community Service and Learning, and Coaching Leadership
Learning Through Partnership (2009) by Jan Robertson at the London Center
for Leadership and Learning. (They are attached)

 

Checkoway distinguishes really clearly the difference
betweenMonoculturalchange, Pluralistic change and Multicultural change. He
describes advanced ideas of democracy where "lasting change comes from a
core group of people who make contact with others who share common concerns
and work together over time."

 

Robertson's article was published last month and has some very helpful
comments on leadership contrasting the climate of market driven public
policies with what she describes as "knowledge through coaching, networking
and professional learning communities".

 

I have been reading articles from the websites of Animating Democracy, CAN,
at SIAP, the Urban Institute, and other academic journals - community
psychology sparking my interest, but please let me know if there is
something you think would be good to look at.

 

many thanks.
