| This participatory roundtable session will focus on the role of popular education as an approach to involve workers in changing hazardous workplace conditions and in restructuring traditional education and evaluation programs. The session is organized in two parts. The first half will begin with an overview of influences, trends and tensions in how popular education has been used in the field of occupational health and safety since OSHA was established in 1970. This will be followed by hands-on demonstrations and an analysis of 1) ergonomics education to challenge decisions about work organization and 2) theater as a method to develop and practice strategies for workplace change. The second half of the session highlights innovations and challenges in the field. Presenters will discuss the use of popular education to: 1) address the contradiction between management prerogative and worker empowerment for action, 2) equalize power relations between the educator/facilitator and participants in education settings and 3) involve workers in designing and implementing an innovative approach to evaluating occupational health and safety education programs | |||
