EMERGENT STRATEGIES (2017) IS A CONCEPT
DEVELOPED BY ADRIENNE MAREE BROWN, A MIXED-RACE,
QUEER INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR WHO SUGGESTS THAT
EMERGENT DISCOVERIES IN THE NATURAL AND SOCIAL
SCIENCES REVEAL THAT CRITICAL CONNECTIONS, NOT
CRITICAL MASS, ARE THE UNDER-RECOGNIZED
KEYSTONES TO EFFECT SOCIAL CHANGE. LOOSELY, THIS
MEANS WE DO NOT HAVE TO SEEK HIGH VOLUMES OF
PARTICIPANTS, WORKING HOURS, OR EMAILS TO EFFECT
CHANGE. INSTEAD, WE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
OUTCOMES WE WANT TO MODEL, INHABIT, AND
GENERATE IN SMALL SPACES, ALLOWING THE
TRANSFORMATION TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR AND
EXTERIOR OF OUR LIVES. INSPIRED BY THE WORK OF
WRITER OCTAVIA BUTLER, PHYSICISTS KAREN BARAD
AND CHANDA PRESCOD-WEINSTEIN, BIOLOGISTINNOVATOR JANINE BENYUS, MATHEMATICIAN BENOIT
MANDELBROT, POET-PHILOSOPHER ÉDOUARD GLISSANT,
AND PHILOSOPHER-ACTIVIST GRACE LEE BOGGS, THIS
TALK ADDRESSES BROWN’S RADICAL CONTENTION THAT
CONNECTION, DONE INTENTIONALLY, CAN AFFECT MORE
SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC TRANSFORMATION THAN MASS
IN OUR CLASSROOMS, CAMPUSES, AND COMMUNITIES -
