Launch of Groundings with the Brothers & Sisters - Reasoning the Way
The Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS) celebrates its 20th anniversary under the theme "A Regional Legacy 1993 - 2013". As part of the year-long celebrations, the IGDS will host the Groundings project under the theme: Groundings with Brothers & Sisters - Reasoning the Way.
Groundings is the reclamation of a methodology of conscientizing developed by Guyanese historian, Walter Rodney in the 1960s to provide critical social intervention among a population of somewhat dispossessed but knowledge-hungry urban dwellers.
The programme seeks, among other things, to provide a multi disciplinary framework through which students might be grounded in cultural content for national development; creation of a space for frank discussions among young men and women towards knowledge buiilding, better geneder relations and interpersonal development.
