Social Movements: Activism and Power
Society is a structure of codified power, reflected in the shadows of architecture, institution, and opportunity. It’s an unequal narrative traded in stories, and experienced through language, action, and inaction. The ways that things ‘just are’ are the ways that … Continue reading

The Society We Deserve
The society we desire may not be the society that we deserve: the first is a projection in our minds, and the second is the result of our actions. If we focus our efforts on delivering value within our Organisations, … Continue reading

The Cost is Carried by One
Our enforced separation and remoteness carries a cost to Organisations, but a greater cost to Communities. Some people will thrive, whilst others will fall silent. It’s likely that we will see broad inequality in the price that is paid. At … Continue reading

Mapping the Social Age
At the start of every year, i redraw the map of the Social Age, to reflect my current understanding of the landscape. But every year remains a sketch map: this is an evolving landscape, like the face of a glacier. … Continue reading
