> SYMPOSIUM ON SOCIAL THOUGHT AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IN CUBA
> (Second Call)
>
> 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 from June
> 7 to June 9, 2000.
>
> 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.
>
> The conference will be preceded by an educational program,
> "Peripheralization and National Liberation in Cuba," that
> includes two
> components. (1) Prior to travel to Cuba, there will be an
> eight-week
> program from March 19 to May 12 of reading and electronic
> discussion among
> group participants, including reading on Cuban history and
> the Cuban
> electoral and political system. (2) Upon arrival in Cuba,
> there will be a
> nine-day experiential program in Havana from May 27 to June
> 6 (or
> participants may select an abbreviated educational program
> from June 3 to
> June 6). The experiential program includes activities such
> as visits to
> an urban neighborhood, to the national office of the
> Federation of Cuban
> Women, to scientific research centers, schools and hospitals
> and centers
> of health as well as lectures by the faculty of FLACSO on
> the project of
> the Cuban Revolution, women in Cuba, the political process,
> rural
> development and the special period. Many lectures are tied
> to an
> experience. For example, a visit to a popular council
> follows a
> presentation at the university concerning the political
> process in Cuba.
> There will be English and Spanish versions of the electronic
> discussion,
> and the experiential program will be bilingual.
