Power differences impact community dynamics and challenge relationships. This lecture will address a variety of common power imbalances, how to identify and better address them.
In community, we strive to be egalitarian. Too often, however, our efforts to minimize power differences result instead in turning a blind eye to imbalances—hindering the community’s ability to transmute power dynamics to the advantage of the group
This lecture will name common power dynamics in community and offer a criteria for determining when power differences are appropriate and effective versus when they are interfering with good community process and connection.
Coming from a hierarchical world where power differences are fostered, nurtured and often abused, we tend to bring some of that culture with us into community—without even being conscious of it. Typically, those who are most able to make changes to power dynamics are the same people who are least likely to see them, and vice versa. Join us to learn strategies for becoming conscious of power differences and naming them in ways that don’t pit one person or group against another.
