Call For Panelists:
The Poetics and Politics of Play

by

D. Robert DeChaine, California State University, Los Angeles

This is a call for participants for a panel that seeks to explore how play (playfulness, the ludic) might serve as a modality for the promotion of social justice. The concept of play has traditionally been accorded a degraded or subsidiary status in western culture, as a realm of experience set off from the realm of "real life" or "serious" action.  This panel invites presentations of grounded research from multiple perspectives that challenge traditional dualistic play paradigms. Those interested in presenting, as well as those who would be willing to serve as a chair and/or respondent, should contact me directly.
