WORKSHOP: Constructing Environments As and For the Practice of Method

Workshop Leaders:

⭐️Lois Holzman

Professor Holzman is an activist-scholar trained in community organizing and developmental psychology. Introduced to Vygotsky and CHAT at Michael Cole’s Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition as part of the team working to expose psychology’s ecological invalidity, she has continued to develop that critique and a new cultural psychology for the past 40 years. In the 1980s, along with philosopher and activist Fred Newman, she founded the East Side Institute, a training and research center for the study and development of a Vygotskian-influenced therapy, social therapy. Over the next two decades, social therapy expanded into a methodology for reinitiating human-community development through activating people’s capacity to play, perform, philosophize and, in that process, create new ways to be and see and relate. Today the Institute is an international education and research center in the transdisciplinary practice of relating to people of all ages and life circumstances as social performers and creators of their lives. From its headquarters in New York City, the Institute has trained hundreds of scholars and activists; psychologists, counselors, social workers and therapists; educators and youth workers; doctors and nurses; social justice artists and activists; and community organizers from across the globe.
