Windows of Belonging
In our Landmark work, you and I have developed a considerable amount of power in the arts of listening, speaking possibility and creating a context for living. I consider all of these powerful registers for personal accomplishment. Yet, when we look at the world around us, most of what we encounter continues to show stark evidence of something amiss in relation to our visions and commitments. In this paper, I inquire into one realm of possibility that has emerged out of the “Discourse as Access” inquiry. This is the phenomenon of belonging.
Additional “Top Papers”
Andrea Fono & Amy WeinsteinRegistering Accomplishment – With A Little Help From My FriendThis paper, by two artists, examines how one artist’s struggle with registering accomplishment resonates with the other. Andrea Fono has pursued art as her career for 33 years. Amy Weinstein began to pursue art as a career after college, starting again and again with large breaks in between for raising a family and pursuing other careers, etc. Also, the paper reflects a commitment to each other’s personal/professional growth and development, the trust built over years of friendship and the shared dedication to being creative, as both a self expression and a way of contributing in the world. Finally, this paper reveals the minutiae of getting into another’s world of registering accomplishment and the difference that community and sharing make in that inquiry.

Robyn MaitlandPlease Forgive Me, I Am A RacistThe year 2020 proved to be a perfect storm with COVID-19 pandemic conditions enveloping the world all while another crisis erupted. The outcry of racial injustice and social atrocities of police killing Black people became intolerable. The massive protests that followed George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, Minnesota revealed an old and unhealed discourse about race in America. From this backdrop, the author confronted her own brown face in the mirror and discovered the inauthentic relationship of being of the Black race hidden from her view. Then, the author wondered: What does the conversation of race have to do with forwarding my commitment in the world??t |
