Drama in Education
The University of the West Indies, through the Philip Sherlock Centre for the Creative Arts, will host the Fifth International Drama in Education Research Institute (IDIERI) from July 13-18 at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, Kingston. The IDIERI theme is “Returning the Gaze, Reclaiming the Voice: Post Colonialism and its Implications for Drama and Education”. The Institute is aimed at University and College lecturers, teachers and students and is part of an effort to examine ways in which Drama, in an educational context, can forge links between issues of colonialism, imperialism and Third Word nationalism on the one hand, and of race, ethnicity and multiculturalism on the other. Speakers will include Vice Chancellor Emeritus, Professor Rex Nettleford, and Honor Ford Smith.
