We want [the poets] to appreciate the words and actions that have gone before them," says Youth Speaks Executive Director James Kass, "and know that they're part of a continuum of writers and activists and educators, that they're stepping into it and this is their time. While competition and artistry are central to the event, spoken word is also deeply political, and the festival is a way to voice the youth perspective, build community and dialogue about social justice. "It's a way to connect with problems that go on in our inner cities and even in our suburbs that are not talked about," says Milton McKinney III of the Chicago All-Stars team. "They're brought to a higher plateau and people all over can relate to them, and it makes people get closer to what's going on." A number of hip...
Sarah Read believes community dialogue is the key to solving social problems such as crime and the academic achievement gap.

BANGOR - Maine Inside-Out, an arts and social justice organization association based in Portland, recently received a $6,000 grant from the Maine Community Foundation to support a theater workshop for incarcerated women. Founded in 2007 by three Maine women with backgrounds in social work, counseling, education, creative writing, and the performing and visual arts, Maine Inside-Out collaborates with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to develop meaningful creative work, share work with the community, and facilitate dialogue in order to initiate social change. Its approach combines prevention, intervention and after-care strategies to provide a continuous network of arts programming within correctional facilities as well as programs based in the community.

Emergence makes no moral presumption. It simply happens. Evidence the recent financial meltdown that has emerged after years of greed and plunder and is now taking down rich and poor alike. But as with any glacial pullback, the barren crust of existence that has become exposed, offers some new adjacent opportunities that had lain previously unexposed. This article proposes one that could provide a revitalization of the ideal of corporate social responsibility (CSR), but in a far more effective package. The opportunity is to create something greater than CSR, and that is called Community Social Performance. It is how the institutions are and will be compelled to form effective partnerships in order to survive the impact of the current economic meltdown and its consequences within the soc...

A critical task for communication educators is preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for active and responsible participation within a rapidly changing global community. Given the complex nature of the challenges citizens will tackle in this century, there is a pressing need for educational approaches that will cultivate more dynamic and systemic understandings of cross-cultural messages, social experiences, and civic participation. This teacher-research study reports the findings of a semester-long project in which conflictual content and group dialogue were utilized to promote critical reflection and transformative learning among college students in a small group communication class. A qualitative methodology and interpretive framework were used to collect and a...
