Location: FSE016 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
RC37 Sociology of Arts (host committee)
TG03 Human Rights and Global Justice

Language: English, French and Spanish

The performing arts create new spaces that can agitate and disrupt fixed, unproductive perspectives of engagement and shed new light on seemingly intractable issues. Social justice is one such issue: how can works of art, narrative and performance impact perceptions of justice and human rights and their possible transformation?
