A Letter From Our President:
Daniel Williams
We have designed our work at the Steelcase Foundation over this past year keeping in mind the urgency, importance, and relentlessness of justice work and our responsibilities to our community. In Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire wrote of liberation as a “praxis,” an iterative cycle of “reflection and action upon the world in order to transform it” (1975, p. 52). We seek to do and support praxis within our community, and this commitment has shown up in a number of ways.
