- Description:
- The study of society is necessarily influenced by the social currents and the nature of the interacting forces that characterize human activities. Thus, modernization theories, post-structuralism and dependency theory all reflect cultural patterns and references which can be located in specific times and places. Paulo Freire's sociology derives its character from the cultural and societal norms of his environment, especially his analysis of historical materialist conditions. Freire advocates revolutionary action for liberation and freedom, which must be extended beyond the individual for maximum social significance. Development is a bridge that connects the individual to society, and the local to the global.

- Description:
- For a long time, Pan-Africanists have advocated the establishment of a Pan-African University. In spite of various efforts in this direction, the hope has failed to materialise. The challenge is that such a university must be a new university, not only in the approach to teaching and research, but more fundamentally, in its strategic conception and its placement at the base of African and human emancipation and liberation. The establishment of the Pan-African University should have as its overall goal the provision of opportunities for higher and advanced education for students and adult learners in the context of a new African-based epistemology and methodology. The models of Western Universities which Africa adopted have proved completely unsuitable for Africa's needs. But for the Pan-African University to set a new path in the search for knowledge and truth, it must first and foremost be built on a sound spiritual basis that highlights those aspects of African spiritual life that has enabled the African people to survive as a human community throughout the centuries. It is time that such a task be embarked on headlong.

- Description:
- Author Michael Honey, Professor of Humanities at the University of Washington-Tacoma delivers a talk entitled, "From Wisconsin to Memphis: King's gospel of labor rights on the rebound". Honey talks about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the context of the efforts in Wisconsin and other states to legislatively reduce or eliminate collective bargaining rights for public sector workers. He reminds listeners that King advocated for socioeconomic rights, not merely civil rights. Honey also draws a direct line between economic disparity, contemporary efforts to eliminate unions and the fight for social justice. A question and answer session follows. Honey is introduced by Professor John P. Beck, Associate Director, Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, the MSU Museum, and co-sponsored by the MSU African-American and African Studies Program.
