Pathways to coalition building and collective power can grow our shared ability to adapt to climate change and support community networks.
Join Mithun partner Deb Guenther for “Coalition Building Through Design” to learn about the role of positionality in design, as well as how to consciously model inclusive practice and power shifting in support of coalition building. In the context of discussion with affinity groups, participants in this workshop will advance their understanding of their personal and collective role in building trust, power and kinship.
Deb’s co-presenters are Florida International University assistant professor Linda Chamorro, University of California, Davis professor Claire Napawan, Curtis + Rogers Design Studio principal Olivia Bussey and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry assistant professor Ellen Oettinger White.
