Queering the Art of Leadership
Length: 3-5 hours
Pricing: Please complete and submit the contact form below to receive details on pricing.
This workshop holds space for a maximum number of 30 participants.
Queering the Art of Leadership provides a container for truthful and interactive conversations to emerge. Participants self-select specific aspects of leadership (i.e. communication, position, or even the very definition of leadership) that the group will focus on throughout the workshop.
The workshop uses a self-reflection, caucus, and congregate engagement model. Meaning, for each of the aspects, participants will: (a) spend time reflecting on the ways in which they have embodied the specific aspects of leadership — considering how they have been conditioned to hold leadership in ways that may in fact promulgate oppression and violence; (b) form small groups (caucus) to share out what emerged for them during their period of self-reflection, and from these intimate conversations (c) come together (congregate) in order to share out in the collective space the parts of leadership we are conditioned to hold, which parts of this conditioning is not serving our desire and movements for social justice, and what a new iteration of leadership would look like for us to better cultivate the just world we envision. The purpose of the workshop is to invoke a collaborative and creative process of redefining and reshaping the art of leadership in such a manner that it truly becomes queer --- it becomes that which does not reproduce the status quo of white supremacy.
