ABOUT | OUR PEOPLE
Meet the Institute Associates
We are proud to welcome an impressive grouping of international practitioners, scholars and activists as Institute Associates. Some have worked closely with the Institute for decades, including several social therapists from across the United States. Others are individuals whose organizations we have partnered with in various ways. Many are graduates of the Institute’s flagship program, The International Class, whose practices have been enhanced by the infusion of Social Therapeutics into their work. All of our Associates are creating community in their countries, local cultures and professions, expanding performance activism and, most importantly, serving as “ambassador for development” wherever they go.
Get to know these creative people. Contact them for first-hand accounts of their projects and interface with the Institute, social therapeutics and performance activism.
