The Wall
Reflections on a Workshop Methodology
From: Labour in Canada Cracking Labour's Glass Ceiling
$1.90
Chapter Five is a retrospective on The Wall methodology by Bev Burke and Suzanne Doerge, long-time social-movement eduators who created the methodology to empower women to take action on gender-based economic inequality. After two decades of facilitating The Wall with women in unions around the globe and in allied social-justice organizations, they reflect on the challenges, successes, and applications of this visual and participatory methodology.
