Click here for an application What does a five-month, online, group study on a postmodern, performance-based approach to human development look like? According to our most recent class of psychology, psychiatry, social work, education, counseling, applied theatre, youth development, anthropology, sociology, community development, public policy and public health alumni, it looks something like this - diverse, dynamic, intensely collaborative and intellectually rigorous it allows for a far-ranging exploration of a proven methodology for personal and social transformation. It's an in-depth study of social therapeutics, with developmental psychologist Lois Holzman, who worked for three decades with public philosopher and social therapist Fred Newman in developing the approach. Holzman and faculty guide students in an exploration of the foundations, politics, philosophy and community-based applications of this unique group-performatory approach to human development and learning.

This new kind of activism has a new name-"postmodern Marxism"-that informs, and is informed by, the ongoing building of community that creates developmental alternatives to the poverty and violence that dominate the world. How is it becoming? What do Marxism and Postmodernism have to do with it? And does it have anything to do with you? Come and begin to explore these questions with Dan Friedman.
