Trans*Forming Higher Education Collaborative (Part 3)

Resilient Campus

To kickoff season three, I invite you to join me for a discussion at a gathering of the Trans*forming Higher Education Collaborative in Tucson, Arizona. T.H.E. Collaborative is “a group of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) educators dedicated to addressing transgender oppression in and through higher education." (T.H.E. Vision Statement, 2018) We centered the work of adrienne marry brown’s book, “Emergent Strategy”, by focusing on three questions. We had a very robust convening around these questions, so you have the honor of digesting the entirety of the discussion in three parts.
Episode 31, Part One centers the question:
“What does it mean for us to convene across and within geographies and institutional hierarchies?”
Episode 31, Part Two centers the question:
“What does it mean to build something that has never been built before?”
Episode 31, Part Three continues the discussion from part two, as well as centers the question:
“What does trans*forming higher education mean to you?”
In the spirit of brown’s work, T.H.E. Collaborative centered this Emergent Strategy principle:
“There is a conversation in the room that only these people at this moment can have. Find it”
