Have you ever ran across someone’s work and thought, “Thank God this person exists!” ?
Filed under: What's Going On
So, this morning I was sitting here at my computer doing my usual searches for good material for my dissertation when I kept coming across fabulous practitioners and researchers with whom I felt a deep kinship. It’s usually my style to contact these sorts of great folks via letter, but I had the thought this morning that creating a website/blog might actually bring these thinkers together in a way that creates community and dialogue around bettering international development practices.
So, what I plan to do is update this site with the most exciting ideas I run across in my research and invite their progenitors to comment or share more of their insights. Assuming this works and the site is generative, I want to open up this forum for comments from international development practitioners worldwide. I have a good feeling that all of these ingredients will make for a very tasty stew!
All of this fodder will make for excellent discussions as well as help me design my doctoral research to be as helpful as possible to this international development community.
If you are visiting this site for the first time, welcome! Please feel free to join in and contribute.
A save-the-world type who knows fundamentally that the world is perfect but strives for more harmonious human interactions and further evolution of human be-ing.
A doctoral student in transpersonal clinical psychology that is looking to network with pioneers and creative thinkers in the field of international development in order to formally reflect on how “who we are” as development practitioners affects how helpful we can be in the world.
An activist who wants to bring greater awareness to the importance of the psychospiritual health of the development practitioner as well as encourage the creation of structural/organizational support for practitioners to support them in their work.
A scorpio.
