Futurescapes: Hearing Voices

Who wants to go to a choral concert for which only the baritones, or mezzo sopranos show up. And while the solo contingent may get a lot of attention, even they will have to admit that the music wasn’t what it could have been. We live in a world in which some of the most beautiful voices have been missing. Many never noticed, many endured the pain of silence. Today we are starting to hear black and brown, LGBTQ, immigrant and other voices. It is disruptive but also a reason to have hope!

Futurescapes: Systems Thinking

Science is wonderful, but there is a trap in it. That trap is the illusion that one can know all one needs to know about a thing by studying the thing. It doesn’t work that way. People from many disciplines and parts of life are realizing what our ancestors knew long ago; that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We are opening so many new doors by discovering our connectedness. Now that is a reason to have hope!

In case you are thinking that's an inappropriate title (especially on Mother's Day) well, if only it were. Unfortunately, there are surprising segments of society left out of the system and the repercussions are hurting us all. Annie Mason, Program Director of Elementary Teacher Education at the U of MN, spoke with Greg Meyer, to help us see the problems and the possibilities that lay within this futurescape.

“Everybody makes mistakes.” How many times was that told to you to help you put something that went poorly behind you? You know the real problem with mistakes? We put them behind us. We think they are, uh, mistakes. No, they are experiences! Just like every other experience. They make us who we are and teach us what we can and might do.
