  The Center for Development Studies (CDS) and la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO), Programa Cuba, are sponsoring an international symposium on "The State of Social and Economic Thought: Marxist, Third World, and Feminist Perspectives" in Havana, Cuba. The international symposium seeks an interchange and reflection among social scientists and historians from various countries on themes related to the situation of global revolutionary movements in light of recent developments in the world economy. The symposium is calling for presentations on the themes of the world economy, including new imperialist strategies, and/or movements of social change from the perspectives of the national and international movements of workers and women as well as Third World national liberation movements. Also, the symposium will have interchanges among Cubans and scientists of various countries focusing on the dominant currents in their particular disciplines (economics, sociology, political science or history) in their particular countries. The organizers solicit proposals related to these themes. The symposium will be bilingual and presentations can be made in English or Spanish. For more information, contact: Charles McKelvey.

  www.unomaha.edu/~pto
  The Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to challenge oppressive systems by promoting critical thinking and social justice. We organize an annual meeting that focuses on the work of liberatory educators, activists, and community organizers. Conference attendees will collaborate in investigations of the roots of class, race, and gender inequalities. This event provides opportunities to combine action and reflection. Liberatory practitioners and theorists will find the conference a stimulating place to share their knowledge and to reflect on and improve their work. We hope that what we practice in our conference can be achieved in the world. The 2000 conference will be held on the Minneapolis campus of the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Join us for interesting and provocative discussions and performances, as we collectively consider ways to apply the ideologies and practices of Freire and Boal. Attendees will include social activists from across the United States and from around the world. For more information contact: Doug Paterson (Pres.

• October 8-17, 2000: CALL FOR ACTION! MADAGASCAR 2000!! Third International Conference on Women in Africa & the African Diaspora (WAAD III)
  In the tradition of WAAD conferences, WAAD III focuses on issues relating to women of African descent but more than before, the meeting in Madagascar will draw attention to the urgency and pertinence of a sense of history as participants engage simultaneously in stocktaking and mapping forward-looking strategies for future engagements. The first conference (WAAD I), which was held in 1992 in the rural Igbo town of Nsukka (Nigeria), brought together over 700 men and women from all continents. The sub-theme of WAAD I, "Bridges across Activism and the Academy," underscores the conference's primary goal of providing an arena for the equal participation of researchers and grassroots women, men, and organizations. The second conference held in the American city of Indianapolis in October 1998 gathered hundreds of participants from 35 countries and 48 national and international organizations to examine issues related to the health and human rights of women of African descent. This third conference, to be held in the historic and beautiful island of Madagascar will examine, in cross-disciplinary terms, women in relation to history and development. There will be keynote/plenary speeches, panel presentations, workshops, forums, town meetings, art exhibitions, photo/slide presentations, and a film screening. Because the conference is designed to encourage maximum participation from students and grassroots men, women, and organizations, we will create an environment conducive to a free flow of information and exchanges.
