The Pacific Center for Global Justice will be offering two seminars in the fall for anyone interested in engaging in issues of social justice. The courses are taught using a three-fold holistic approach to issues of social justice, addressing the importance of contemplation, analysis and action (CAA) in any social justice work. The first course will focus on Militarism, exploring the roots, early and current history of militarism, and the major components of the military industrial complex. The second course is called Four Engagements and explores how can we more effectively go about working for justice, both locally and on a vast scale. Whether you are an active member in the fight for social justice, or would like to be more engaged, these seminars are an effective way to challenge your thinking around social justice and inspire new productive ways for affecting social change. This year the seminars will be held at the Cedarwood Waldorf School at 3030 Southwest 2nd Avenue Portland, OR 97201. Please visit our website http://www.pcgj.org to learn more and sign up for the seminars. Courses can be taken separately or together, since they will be offered on different nights. Seminars are between $100-120 for the each 4-5 part series. Scholarships are available for veterans.
