Structural Design and Re-Design
This two-day institute focuses on systems thinking, systems changing and systems design. It guides participants through a data discourse process to ensure that they are looking at relevant data when assessing their current systems, and asking the right questions. This process is done all while supporting participants to continue to reflect on their identity, specifically, how their identity impacts the systems or processes they design. Participants will bring work from their current contexts for us to explore as a reflective learning group where inequities are present, define the work where more equitable outcomes are possible and generate probing wonderings to support participants with prototyping a more equitable work design to take back to their work contexts for implementation and reflection.
By the end of the session, participants will gain skills for using SRI tools and processes to:
- Assess their spheres of influence to redesign systems in their work context;
- Engage in data discourse through an equity lens to identify racial, cultural and class biases in their work that perpetuate inequities; and
- Use a design process of noticing, reflecting, defining, envisioning, developing, implementing and revising current practices until systems are created that support equity and excellence for all.
