Dear friends - One of my goals for this year is to add more voices to this site. The primary way in which I am planning on doing this is through collaborative posts with other people working on social change in various areas. My work gives me the privilege of meeting so many people working on interesting problems in many different areas — now I want to share your stories and explore new ideas with you.
Here’s what I’m planning: once I’ve scheduled you for a guest post, I’ll ask you to choose one of the various exercises for critical thinking that I’ve previously posted. Then I’ll ask you to answer three questions:
What is the social problem you and/or your organization are trying to solve?
Which exercise did you choose and what did you learn from it?
How do you imagine that the insight you took from the exercise might be used by other people in your organization or field?
Eventually, I would also like to turn these responses into episodes for a podcast or other multimedia format, but for we are going to start in (digital) print. Please share this with anyone who is working on a major social problem and who you think might enjoy thinking about it in a new way. You can reply here or reach out to me at andrew@albnelson.com.
To repeat — please tell me about your most interesting friends and colleagues who should be featured in this space! I can’t wait to hear from them and you!
