Original artwork (changed monthly) that matches the themed sections is also featured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe envision Praxis Center to be a marketplace for the free and open exchange of information and ideas on all social justice issues,\u201d said Brock. \u201cFrom action research and radical scholarship to engaged teaching and grassroots activism, from community and cultural organizing to revelatory art practice, Praxis Center will make visible all the critical social justice work being done today across the country and around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3761\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3761\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/01\/aeem-Mohaiemen-Iranian-Cultural-Center-Graffiti-Action-2009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3761 size-medium\" src=\"\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/01\/aeem-Mohaiemen-Iranian-Cultural-Center-Graffiti-Action-2009-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"Iranian Cultural Center Graffiti Action 2009\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3761\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: “Iranian Cultural Center Graffiti Action 2009” by Naeem Mohaiemen, a writer and visual artist working in New York City and Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Chicago-based educator, cultural organizer, activist, and writer <strong>Alice Kim<\/strong> serves as Praxis Center editor.
