      <P class=style1 align=left>Raúl Quiñones-Rosado, author of <EM>Toward an 
      Integral Approach to Liberation and Transformation</EM> will discuss how 
      to approach one of the most critical challenges of our times: as the 
      continued struggle <EM>against</EM> oppression or the on- going striving 
      <EM>toward</EM> the creation of a new society? Drawing on liberation 
      psychology, integral theory, and thirty years of community work, 
      anti-oppression organizing and spiritual practice, this presentation 
      introduces an integral framework for liberation and transformation that 
      seeks to transcend dichotomous, fragmented and reactive approaches to 
      personal, community, and societal change.</P>
