Interpreting and Reclaiming Community Leadership

victoriamathison98

I presented this week on my Podcast, Conversations from the Hot House, at the Public Pedagogies Institute (http://www.publicpedagogies.org/news/hot-house-podcast/) Seminar Series on ‘Publicness’.

I didn’t have enough time to fully unpack how we interpret the term “community leadership” so I thought I’d start a series here. In Hot House programs we start by doing this through a quotes activity that provokes a conversation about some of the ways people see “community leadership”. In the process we reclaim the term “leadership”, centre it in community relations, and realise that it’s a strength we can all enact and grow in others.

Much of my thought on community leadership is informed by Community Development values and frameworks, so the first quote is a guide for both my professional practice and for community leadership.

Please let me know in the comments if any of these quotes resonate with your understanding of community leadership…

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, especially the lands of the Kulin Nations whose countries surround the city of Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), where we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

 

We recognise their sovereignty and continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and the importance of the current and ongoing dialogue for Treaty and a Voice to parliament. We recognise the sorrow this struggle brings and admire their strength to continue. We are appalled by the impact of our colonial past but see that all of us have benefited from this dispossession.

 

We give our commitment to being good allies towards the achievement of justice and healing. This includes honouring the work and ways of knowing of First Nations people with whom we collaborate.

We publicly acknowledge the grief, loss, sadness and vulnerability of survivors and victims of family, private & gender-based violence. In recognition we commemorate children, young people, adults and older adults surviving and those who have died as a result of such violence. Please take 30 seconds of quiet contemplation for change and reflect on HOPE, COURAGE and HEALING for victims, our community and ourselves.

Thank you Güler Altunbas for these words. See www.shrineforus.com
